A$\frac{{GR}}{\rho }$
a Conductivity $\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho }$ .... $(i)$
and conductance $G = \frac{1}{R}$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,GR = 1$ ..... $(ii)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$ $\sigma = \frac{{GR}}{\rho }$

In the experimental setup of meter bridge shown in the figure, the null point is obtained at a distance of $40\,cm$ from $A$. If a $10\,\Omega $ resistor is connected in series with $R_1$, the null point shifts by $10\,cm$. The resistance that should be connected in parallel with $\left( {{R_1} + 10} \right)\,\Omega $ such that the null point shifts back to its initial position is .............. $\Omega$
In the given figure $R_1=10 \Omega, R_2=8 \Omega, R_3=4 \Omega$ and $R_4=8 \Omega$. Battery is ideal with emf $12 \mathrm{~V}$. Equivalent resistant of the circuit and current supplied by battery are respectively.
The resistance of a $5\, cm$ long wire is $10\, \Omega$. It is uniformly stretched so that its length becomes $20\, cm$. The resistance of the wire is ............. $\Omega$
In the following $'I'$ refers to current and other symbols have their usual meaning, Choose the option that corresponds to the dimensions of electrical conductivity
Water of volume $2\, litre$ in a container is heated with a coil of $1\, kW$ at $27 \,^oC$. The lid of the container is open and energy dissipates at rate of $160\, J/s$. In how much time temperature will rise from $27\,^oC$ to $77\,^oC$ $[$ Given specific heat of water is $4.2\, kJ/kg$ $]$
The charge flowing in a conductor changes with time as $Q ( t )=\alpha t -\beta t ^2+\gamma t ^3$. Where $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are constants. Minimum value of current is :
