A galvanometer together with an unknown resistance in series is connected to two identical batteries each of $1.5\, V$. When the batteries are connected in series, the  galvanometer records a current of $1\,A$, and when batteries are in parallel the current is $0.6\,A$.  What is the internal resistance of the battery ?
  • A$r = \frac{2}{3}\, \Omega$
  • B$r = \frac{2}{5}\, \Omega$
  • C$r = \frac{1}{3} \,\Omega$
  • D$r = \frac{3}{2}\, \Omega$

    Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance $\left(S_1\right)$ of given wire, having length $L$, radius $r$. If $X$ is the resistance of wire, then specific resistance is: $S_1=X\left(\frac{\pi r^2}{L}\right)$. If the length of the wire gets doubled then the value of specific resistance will be :
