Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant is $\frac{6}{8}\,ohm$. One of the resistance wire is broken and the effective resistance becomes $2\,\Omega $. Then the resistance in ohm of the wire that got broken was

C$6/5$
c If resistances are ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ then $\frac{{{R_1}{R_2}}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}} = \frac{6}{8}$ …..$(i)$
Suppose ${R_2}$ is broken then ${R_1} = 2\, \Omega $ ….. $ (ii)$
On solving equations $(i)$ and $(ii) $ we get ${R_2} = 6/5\,\Omega $

A new flashlight cell of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\, volts$ gives a current of $15\, amps$, when connected directly to an ammeter of resistance $0.04\,\Omega $. The internal resistance of cell is ........... $\Omega$
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
$n$ identical cells are joined in series with its two cells $A$ and $B$ in the loop with reversed polarities. $EMF$ of each shell is $E$ and internal resistance $r$. Potential difference across cell $A$ or $B$ is (here $n > 4$)
Figure below shows a portion of an electric circuit with the currents in amperes and their directions. The magnitude and direction of the current in the portion $P Q$ is
