The $V-i$ graph for a conductor makes an angle $\theta $ with $V-$ axis. Here $ V$ denotes the voltage and $i$ denotes current. The resistance of conductor is given by
A$\sin \theta $
B$\cos \theta $
C$\tan \theta $
D$\cot \theta $

D$\cot \theta $
d At an instant approach the student will choose $\tan\,\theta$ will be the right answer. But it is to be seen here the curve makes the angle $\theta$ with the $V-$ axis. So it makes an angle $(90 -\theta)$ with the $i-$ axis.
So resistance $=$ slope $= \tan \,(90 -\theta) = \cot\,\theta$.

There is a current of $20$ amperes in a copper wire of ${10^{ - 6}}$ square meter area of cross-section. If the number of free electrons per cubic meter is ${10^{29}}$, then the drift velocity is
In potentiometer experiment when $K_1$ is closed balance length is $100\,cm$. Then what will be balancing length when $K_2$ is closed ................ $\mathrm{cm}$
The length of a potentiometer wire is $\ell $. A cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\ell /3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\ell /2$ at what distance will the same cell give a balanced point
A thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V{/^o}C$ in the linear range of temperature. A galvanometer of resistance $10\; ohm$ whose sensitivity is $1\;\mu A/div$, is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be
The terminal voltage of the battery, whose emf is $10 \mathrm{~V}$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$, when connected through an external resistance of $4 \Omega$ as shown in the figure is:
In meter bridge experiment for measuring unknown resistance ' $S$ ', the null point is obtained at a distance $30 cm$ from the left side as shown at point $D$. If $R$ is $5.6 k \Omega$, then the value of unknown resistance ' $S$ ' will be $\Omega .$
