Two students $P$ and $Q$ perform an experiment to verify Ohm's law for a conductor with resistance $R$. They use a current source and a voltmeter with least counts of $0.1 mA$ and $0.1 \,mV$, respectively. The plots of the variation of voltage drop $V$ across $R$ with current $I$ for both are shown below. The statement which is most likely to be correct?
A$P$ has only random error(s)
B$Q$ has only systematic error(s)
C$Q$ has both random and systematic errors
D$P$ has both random and systematic errors

D$P$ has both random and systematic errors
d (d)
For $P$ errors are both positive and negative.
For $Q$ errors are only positive.
So, $P$ has both random and systematic errors.

In the circuit shown in figure reading of voltmeter is $V_1$ when only $S_1$ is closed, reading of voltmeter is $V_2$ when only $S_2$ is closed. The reading of voltmeter is $V_3$ when both $S_1$ and $S_2$ are closed then
In the network shown in the figure, each of the resistance is equal to $2\,\Omega $. The resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ is .............. $\Omega$
Four bulbs $B_1 , B_2, B_3$ and $B_4$ of $100\, W$ each are connected to $220\, V$ main as shown in the figure. The reading in an ideal ammeter will be ............... $A$
$AB$ is a potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ and its resistance is $10 \,\Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R = 40 \,\Omega$ and a battery of $e.m.f.$ $2 \,V$ and negligible internal resistance.
