A potentiometer is an ideal device of measuring potential difference because
A
It uses a sensitive galvanometer
B
It does not disturb the potential difference it measures

In a wire of cross section radius $r,$ free electrons travel with drift velocity $v$ when a current $I$ flows through the wire. What is the current in another wire of half the radius and of the same material when the drift velocity is $2v$ ?
$3$ identical bulbs are connected in series and these together dissipate a power $P$. If now the bulbs are connected in parallel, then the power dissipated will be
A meter bridge setup is shown in the figure. It is used to determine an unknown resistance $R$ using a given resistor of $15\,\Omega$. The galvanometer $(G)$ shows null deflection when tapping key is at $43\,cm$ mark from end $A$. If the end correction for end $A$ is $2\,cm$. then the determined value of $R$ will be__________ $\Omega$
Two resistances equal at $0\,^oC$ with temperature coefficient of resistance $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
Two wires of the same material are given. The first wire is twice as long as the second and has twice the diameter of the second. The resistance of the first will be
In the circuit shown, the cell is ideal, with $emf$ $=$ $15$ $V$. Each resistance is of $3 $ $\Omega$ . The potential difference across the capacitor is.....$V$
