BMaximum current ratings in the ratio of $1:4$
b (b) $R = \frac{{{V^2}}}{P}$ $ \Rightarrow $ ${R_1} = \frac{{200 \times 200}}{{100}} = 400\,\Omega $ and
${R_2} = \frac{{100 \times 100}}{{200}} = 50\,\Omega .$ Maximum current rating $i = \frac{P}{V}$
So ${i_1} = \frac{{100}}{{200}}$ and ${i_2} = \frac{{200}}{{100}}$$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{i_1}}}{{{i_2}}} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Three identical bulbs are connected as shown in figure. When switch $S$ is closed, the power consumed in bulb $B$ is $P$. What will be the power consumed by the same bulb when switch $S$ is opened?
In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length $240\, cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2$ $\Omega$, the balancing length becomes $120\, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is ................. $\Omega $
Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same material and mass have their lengths in the ratio $1 : 2$. On connecting them to the same source, the rate of heat dissipation in $B$ is found to be $5\,W$. The rate of heat dissipation in $A$ is............ $W$
Shown in the figure below is a meter-bridge set up with null deflection in the galvanometer. The value of the unknown resistor $R$ is ............. $\Omega$
Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of $e.m.f.$ together dissipate $10\, watt$. If the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same $e.m.f.$, then the power dissipated will be .............. $watt$
The internal resistance of a primary cell is $4\, ohm$. It generates a current of $0.2\, amp$ in an external resistance of $21\, ohm$. The rate at which chemical energy is consumed in providing the current is .............. $J/s$
The four arms of a Wheatstone bridge have resistances as shown in the figure. A galvanometer of $15\, \Omega$ resistance is connected across $BD$. Calculate the current through the galvanometer when a potential difference of $10\, V$ is maintained across $AC.$
The circuit shown in the figure consists of a battery of $emf$ $\varepsilon = 10 \,V$ ; a capacitor of capacitance $C = 1.0$ $ \mu F$ and three resistor of values $R_1 = 2$ $\Omega$ , $R_2 = 2$ $\Omega$ and $R_3 = 1$ $\Omega$ . Initially the capacitor is completely uncharged and the switch $S$ is open. The switch $S$ is closed at $t = 0.$
A student was trying to construct the circuit shown in the figure below marked $(a)$, but ended up constructing the circuit marked $(b)$. Realising her mistake, she corrected the circuit, but to her surprise, the output voltage (across $R$ ) did not change. The value of resistance $R$ is ............ $\Omega$
