b $2\, \Omega, 4\, \Omega$ and $(1\, \Omega+5\, \Omega)$ are in parallel so their potential difference are the same.
$V=3 \times 2=6 \mathrm{\,V}$
$\mathrm{i}_{3}=\frac{6}{1+5}=1 \mathrm{\,A}$
$P_{S}=i_{3}^{2} \times 5=(1)^{2} \times 5=5 \,W$

A Daniel cell is balanced on $125\,cm$ length of a potentiometer wire. Now the cell is short-circuited by a resistance $2\, ohm$ and the balance is obtained at $100\,cm$. The internal resistance of the Daniel cell is .............. $ohm$
In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
In the adjoining circuit, the galvanometer $G$ shows zero deflection. If the batteries $A$ and $B$ have negligible internal resistance, the value of the resistor $R$ will be .............. $\Omega$
In a meter bridge experiment, initially the jockey is at null point. Now resistance $R_1$ $\&$ $R_2$ is interchanged. Shift in the position of jockey is ................ $cm$
During lighting, a current pulse, shown in figure, flows from the cloud at a height $1.5\ km$ to the ground. If the breakdown electric field of humid air is about $400\ kVm^{-1}$ , the energy released during lighting would be (in unit of $10^9\ J$ )
