d (d) In series ${P_S} = \frac{P}{n}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $10 = \frac{P}{3}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $P = 30\,W$
In parallel ${P_P} = nP = 3 × 30 = 90\, W$

In the circuit diagram of figure, $E = 5\, volt, r = 1\, \Omega ,$$ R_2 = 4\, \Omega , R_1 = R_3 = 1 \Omega$ and $C = 3\, μF.$ Then the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate is......$\mu C$
By error, a student places moving-coil voltmeter $V$ (nearly ideal) in series with the resistance in a circuit in order to read the current, as shown. The voltmeter reading will be ............ $V$
A current of $0.1 \,A$ flows through a $25 \,\Omega$ resistor represented by the circuit diagram. The current in $80 \,\Omega$ resistor is ........... $A$
A potentiometer wire $PQ$ of $1\,m$ length is connected to a standard cell $E _{1}$. Another cell $E _{2}$ of emf $1.02\, V$ is connected with a resistance $'r'$ and switch $S$ (as shown in figure). With switch $S$ open, the null position is obtained at a distance of $49\, cm$ from $Q$. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is.......$V/cm$
The potential gradient along the length of a uniform wire is $10\,volt/metre$. $B$ and $C$ are the two points at $30\,cm$ and $60\,cm$ point on a meter scale fitted along the wire. The potential difference between $B$ and $C$ will be ............. $volt$
