C
Inside the wire but parallel to it
c (c) As current is flowing through it, it means charges are flowing along its length therefore heir must be some electric fleld parallel to the length of the wire. Hence correct option is $C.$

Two wires of same material have length $L$ and $2L $ and cross-sectional areas $4A$ and $A$ respectively. The ratio of their specific resistance would be
$10$ wires (same length, same area, same material) are connected in parallel and each has $1$ $\Omega$ resistance, then the equivalent resistance will be .............. $\Omega$
A potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$ the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain balance point between $X$ and $Y$ it is necessary to
In the circuit shown, the reading of the Ammeter is doubled after the switch is closed. Each resistor has a resistance $1\,\Omega$ and the ideal cell has an $e.m.f.$ $10\,V$. Then, the Ammeter has a coil resistance equal to ............ $\Omega$
A circuit containing five resistors is connected to a battery with a $12 \,V$ emf as shown in figure. The potential difference across $4 \,\Omega$ resistor is ........... $V$
Which of the following will NOT be observed when a multimeter (operating in resistance measuring mode) probes connected across a component, are just reversed?
In the circuit shown in the figure $K_1$ is open. The charge on capacitor $C$ in steady state is $q_1$. Now key is closed and at steady state charge on $C$ is $q_2$. The ratio of charges $q_1/q_2$ is
