Three resistors of $4\,\Omega ,6\,\Omega $ and $12\,\Omega $ are connected in parallel and the combination is connected in series with a $1.5\, V$ battery of $1\,\Omega $ internal resistance. The rate of Joule heating in the $4\,\Omega $ resistor is ................ $W$
The length of a metallic wire is increased by $20 \%$ and its area of cross section is reduced by $4 \%$. The percentage change in resistance of the metallic wire is $.......$
In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
$62.5 \times {10^{18}}$ electrons per second are flowing through a wire of area of cross-section $0.1\,{m^2}$, the value of current flowing will be ............ $A$
Drift speed of electrons, when $1.5\, A$ of current flows in a copper wire of cross section $5\, mm^2$, is $v$. If the electron density in copper is $9 \times 10^{28}\, m^3$ the value of $v$ in $mm/s$ is close to (Take charge of electron to be $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\, C$)
