In a Wheatstone bridge, $P = 90\,\Omega $, $Q = 110\,\Omega $ , $R = 40\,\Omega $ and $S = 60\,\Omega $ and a cell of $4\,V\,emf$. Then the potential difference between the diagonal along which a galvanometer is connected is ............. $V$
Two batteries of different $e.m.f.'s$ and internal resistance connected in series with each other and with an external load resistor. The current is $3.0 \,A$. When the polarity of one battery is reversed, the current becomes $1.0 \,A$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.'s$ of the two batteries is ............
A potentiometer having the potential gradient of $2\, mV/cm$ is used to measure the difference of potential across a resistance of $10 \,\Omega$. If a length of $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire is required to get the null point, the current passing through the $10 \,\Omega$ resistor is (in $mA$)
$AB$ is a wire of uniform resistance. The galvanometer $G$ shows no current when the length $AC = 20\,cm$ and $CB = 80\, cm$. The resistance $R$ is equal to .............. $\Omega $
A copper rod of cross-sectional area $A$ carries a uniform current $I$ through it. At temperature $T$, if the volume charge density of the rod is $\rho $, how long will the charges take to travel a distance $d$ ?
Two cells, having the same $e.m.f.$ are connected in series through an external resistance $R.$ Cells have internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2\,\, (r_1 > r_2)$ respectively. When the circuit is closed, the potential difference across the first cell is zero. The value of $R$ is
