b (b) Let the $e.m.f.$ of cell be $E$ and internal resistance be $r$.
Then $0.5 = \frac{E}{{(r + 2)}}$ and $0.25 = \frac{E}{{(r + 5)}}$

A $10\,m$ long potentiometer wire has a potential gradient of $0.0025\, V/cm$. Calculate the distance of null point when the wire is connected to a $1.025\,V$ standard cell ............... $\mathrm{m}$
Space between two concentric conducting spheres of radii $a$ and $b (b > a)$ is filled with $a$ medium of resistivity $\rho $. The resistance between the two spheres will be
There are $8$ equal resistances $R$. Two are connected in parallel, such four groups are connected in series, the total resistance of the system will be

Circuit for the measurement of resistance by potentiometer is shown. The galvanometer is first connected at point $A$ and zero deflection is observed at length $P J = 10\ cm$ . In second case it is connected at point $C$ and zero deflection is observed at a length $30\ cm$ from $P$ . Then the unknown resistance $X$ is
In the circuit shown below (on the left) the resistance and the emf source are both variable. The graph of seven readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter ( $V$ and $I$, respectively) for different settings of resistance and the emf, taken at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$, are shown below (on the right) by the dots connected by the curve $E F G H$. Consider the internal resistance of the battery to be negligible and the voltmeter an ammeter to be ideal devices. (Take, $R_0 \equiv \frac{V_0}{I_0}$ ).
Then, the plot of the resistance as a function of time corresponding to the curve $E F G H$ is given by
The charge flowing through a resistance $R$ varies with time $t$ as $ Q=at-bt^2 $ where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants . The total heat produced in $R$ is
