A conducting wire of length $ l$ area of cross-section $A$ and electric resistivity $\rho$ is connected between the terminals of a battery. $A$ potential difference $V$ is developed between its ends, causing an electric current.If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be
A$\frac{1}{4} \frac{ VA }{\rho l}$
B$\frac{3}{4} \frac{ VA }{\rho l}$
C$\frac{1}{4} \frac{\rho l}{ VA }$
D$4 \frac{ VA }{\rho l}$

A$\frac{1}{4} \frac{ VA }{\rho l}$
a As per the question
Resistance $=\frac{\rho(2 l)}{( A / 2)}=\frac{4 \rho l}{ A }$
$\Rightarrow$ Current $=\frac{ V }{ R }=\frac{ VA }{4 \rho l}$

When connected across the terminals of a cell, a voltmeter measures $5\,V$ and a connected ammeter measures $10\, A$ of current. A resistance of $2\, ohms$ is connected across the terminals of the cell. The current flowing through this resistance will be ............ $A$
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 ............... $\mathrm{m}$
In the given potentiometer circuit length of the wire $AB$ is $3\,m$ and resistance is $R = 4.5 \,\Omega.$ The length $AC$ for no deflection in galvanometer is ................ $\mathrm{m}$
Two square metal plates $A$ and $B$ are of the same thickness and material. The side of $B$ is twice that of $A$. These are connected as shown in series. If the resistances of $A$ and $B$ are denoted by $R_A$ and $R_B,$ then $(R_A/R_B)$ is
