A battery of internal resistance one ohm and $emf$ $3\,volt$ sends a current through $1\,metre$ of uniform wire of resistance $5\,\Omega $. The pole of the cell of $emf$ $1.4\,volt$ are connected to two points on the wire so that no current passes through this cell. Then, the potential gradient of the wire is
In the circuit shown, the resistances are given in ohms and the battery is assumed ideal with $\mathrm{emf}$ equal to $3.0$ $\mathrm{volts}.$ The resistor that dissipates the most power is
Two conductors are made of the same material and have the same length. Conductor $A$ is a solid wire of diameter $1.0\, mm$. Conductor $B$ is a hollow tube of outside diameter $2.0\, mm$ and inside diameter $1.0\, mm$. The resistance ratio $R_A/R_B$ will be
A cell whose e.m.f. is $2\, V$ and internal resistance is $0.1\,\Omega $, is connected with a resistance of $3.9\,\Omega $. The voltage across the cell terminal will be ................ $V$
An ideal battery of $4\, V$ and resistance $R$ are connected in series in the primary circuit of a potentiometer of length $1\, m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega $ . The value of $R$, to give a difference of $5\, mV$ across $10\, cm$ of potentiometer wire, is: ................ $\Omega$
The battery in the diagram is to be charged by the generator $G$. The generator has a terminal voltage of $120$ $\mathrm{volts}$ when the charging current is $10$ $\mathrm{amperes}.$ The battery has an $\mathrm{emf}$ of $100$ $\mathrm{volts}$ and an internal resistance of $1$ $\mathrm{ohm}.$ In order to charge the battery at $10$ $\mathrm{amperes}$ charging current, the resistance $R$ should be set at ................ $\Omega$
