There are $n$ similar conductors each of resistance $R$. The resultant resistance comes out to be $x$ when connected in parallel. If they are connected in series, the resistance comes out to be
A$x/{n^2}$
B${n^2}x$
C$x/n$
D$nx$

B${n^2}x$
b (b)In parallel, $x = \frac{R}{n}$ $R = nx$
In series, $R + R + R$ .... $n$ times $=$ $nR = n (nx) = n^2x$

Two wires of same metal have the same length but their cross-sections are in the ratio $3:1$. They are joined in series. The resistance of the thicker wire is $10\,\Omega $. The total resistance of the combination will be ............. $\Omega$
The given figure represents an arrangement of potentiometer for the calculation of internal resistance $(r)$ of the unknown battery $(E)$. The balance length is $70.0\, cm$ with the key opened and $60.0\,cm$ with the key closed. $R$ is $132.40 \Omega $. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the unknown cell will be.......$\Omega$ (Given $E_o > E$) :-
A potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$ and the balance point is obtained at $203. 6\,cm$. When the end of the potentiometer connected to $B$ is shifted to $C$, then the balance point is obtained at $24.6\,cm$. If now the potentiometer be connected between $B$ and $C$, the balance point will be at ................. $cm$
Two cells, having the same $e.m.f.$ are connected in series through an external resistance $R.$ Cells have internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2\,\, (r_1 > r_2)$ respectively. When the circuit is closed, the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of $R$ is
In a potentiometer experiment shown here, for the position $X$ of the jockey $J,$ there occurs a null deflection in the galvanometer. Then the potential difference between points $A$ and $X$ is ................ $V$
For a wire $\frac{R}{l}=\frac{1}{2}$ and length of wire is $l=5\, cm .$ If potential difference $1\, V$ is applied across it, current through wire will be: $( R =$ Resistance $)$ (in $A$)
Figure shows three resistor configurations $R_1,R_2$ and $R_3$ connected to $3\,V$ battery. If the power dissipated by the configuration $R_1, R_2$ and $R_3$ is $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ , respectively then
