The resistance of $10\, metre$ long potentiometer wire is $1\,ohm/meter$. A cell of $e.m.f.$ $2.2\, volts$ and a high resistance box are connected in series to this wire. The value of resistance taken from resistance box for getting potential gradient of $2.2\, millivolt/metre$ will be ............... $\Omega $
Three $60\, W$ light bulbs are mistakenly wired in series and connected to a $120\,V$ power supply. Assume the light bulbs are rated for single connection to $120\,V$. With the mistaken connection, the power dissipated by each bulb is: .................. $W$
In an electrical cable there is a single wire of radius $9\, mm$ of copper. Its resistance is $5\,\Omega $. The cable is replaced by $6$ different insulated copper wires, the radius of each wire is $3\,mm$. Now the total resistance of the cable will be ............... $\Omega$
For driving a current of $2\, A$ for $6$ minutes in a circuit, $1000\, J$ of work is to be done. The $e.m.f.$ of the source in the circuit is ................ $V$
In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length $240\,cm$ . On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2\,\Omega $ , the balancing length becomes $120\, cm$ . The internal resistance of the cell is ................... $\Omega$
A battery of internal resistance $4\,\Omega $ is connected to the network of the resistance as shown in Fig. If the maximum power can be delivered to the network, the magnitude of $R$ in $\Omega $ should be
