A$\frac{9 P}{4}$
a (a)
$P=\left(\frac{E}{2 R}\right)^2 R$
$P=\frac{E^2}{4 R}$
When $K$ is closed
$i=\frac{2 E}{3 R}$
$P^{\prime}=\frac{E^2}{9 R^2} \cdot R$
$P^{\prime}=\frac{E^2}{9 R}$
$\frac{P}{P^{\prime}}=\frac{9}{4}$
$P^{\prime}=\frac{4 P}{9}$

In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.
Two resistances equal at $0\,^oC$ with temperature coefficient of resistance $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
Two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series and the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $625$ $cm$. If the terminals of $E_1$ are reversed, the balancing length obtained is $125 \,cm$. Given $E_2 > E_1$, the ratio $E_1: E_2$ will be
In the circuit shown in the figure, no current flows through the ideal ammeter. If the internal resistance of the cell is negligible, the value of unknown resistance $R $ is .............. $\Omega$
A cell having an emf $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a variable external resistance $R.$ As the resistance $R$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $V$ across $R$ is given by
At what temperature will the resistance of a copper wire become three times its value at $0\,^oC$ ................. $^oC$ (Temperature coefficient of resistance for copper = $4 × 10^{-3} \,per\, \,^oC$ )
