A heater coil connected to a supply of a $220\, V$ is dissipating some power ${P_1}.$ The coil is cut into half and the two halves are connected in parallel. The heater now dissipates a power ${P_2}.$ The ratio of power ${P_1}\,\,:\,\,{P_2}$ is
A$2:1$
B$1:2$
C$1:4$

C$1:4$
c (c) $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$. If resistance of heater coil is $R$, then resistance of parallel combination of two halves will be $\frac{R}{4}$
So $\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{R_1}}} = \frac{{R/4}}{R} = \frac{1}{4}$

When the current $i$ is flowing through a conductor, the drift velocity is $v$. If $2i$ current is flowed through the same metal but having double the area of cross-section, then the drift velocity will be
A wire of diameter $0.02\,meter$ contains $10^{28}$ free electrons per cubic meter. For an electrical current of $100\, A$, the drift velocity of the free electrons in the wire is nearly
What equal length of an iron wire and a copper-nickel alloy wire, each of $2 \; {mm}$ diameter connected parallel to give an equivalent resistance of $3 \Omega ?$
(Given resistivities of iron and copper-nickel alloy wire are $12 \;\mu \Omega {cm}$ and $51\; \mu \Omega {cm}$ respectively) (in ${m}$)
A potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, ohm.$ It is connected in series with a resistance and an accumulator of emf $2\,V$ and of negligible internal resistance. A source of emf $10\, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance :- ................. $\Omega$
In a Wheatstone's bridge, three resistances $P, Q$ and $R$ connected in the three arms and the fourth arm is formed by two resistances $S_1$ and $S_2$ connected in parallel. The condition for the bridge to be balanced will be
$A$ wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to the current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta T$ in time $t. N$ number of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross section but of length $2L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta T$ in the same time $t$. The value of $N$ is :
In the given circuit ' $a$ ' is an arbitrary constant. The value of $m$ for which the equivalent circuit resistance is minimum, will be $\sqrt{\frac{ x }{2}}$. The value of $x$ is ...........
In the figure, the potentiometer wire $AB$ of length $L$ and resistance $9r$ is joined to the cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon $ and internal resistance $r$. The cell $C's$ $emf$ is $\frac{\varepsilon }{2}$and its internal resistance is $2r$. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AJ$ is
