$12$ cells each having same $emf$ are connected in series with some cells wrongly connected. The arrangement is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells which are in series. Current is $3 \,A$ when cells and battery aid each other and is $2\, A$ when cells and battery oppose each other. The number of cells wrongly connected is

B$1$
b (b) Let $n$ be the number of wrongly connected cells.
Number of cells helping one another $ = (12 - n)$
Total $e.m.f.$ of such cells $ = (12 - n)E$
Total $e.m.f.$ of cells opposing = $nE$
Resultant $e.m.f.$ of battery $ = (12 - n)E - nE$$ = (12 - 2n)E$
Total resistance of cells = $12r$
( resistance remains same irrespective of connections of cells)
With additional cells
$(a)$ Total $e.m.f.$ of cells when additional cells help battery =$ (12 -2n) E + 2E$
Total resistance = $12r + 2r = 14r$
$\frac{{(12 - 2n)E + 2E}}{{14r}} = 3$ ......$(i)$
$(b)$ Similarly when additional cells oppose the battery
$\frac{{(12 - 2n)E - 2E}}{{14r}} = 2$......$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$, $n = 1$

In the figure shown for gives values of $R_1$ and $R_2$ the balance point for Jockey is at $40\,cm$ from $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a resistance of $10\, \Omega$ , balance shifts to $50\,cm.$ $R_1$ and $R_2$ are $(AB = 1 \,m)$
In a meter bridge experiment the balance point in obtained if the gaps are closed by $2\,\Omega$ and $3\,\Omega$. A shunt of $x\,\Omega$ is added to $3\,\Omega$ resistor to shift the balancing point by $22.5\,cm$. The value of $X$ is $................$
A $1\,m$ long copper wire carries a current of $1\,A$. If the cross section of the wire is $2.0\,mm ^{2}$ and the resistivity of copper is $1.7 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m$. the force experienced by moving electron in the wire is $\times 10^{-23}\,N$. (charge on electron $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$ )
A uniform wire of length $l$ and radius $r$ has a resistance of $100\, \Omega $. It is recast into a wire of radius $\frac{r}{2}$. The resistance of new wire will be ............... $\Omega$
Thousand cells of same emf $E$ and same internal resistance $r$ are connected in series in same order without an external resistance. The potential drop across $399$ cells is found to be ......... $E$
