B$1$
b Total resistance $=10+1=11 \Omega$
Current in the circuit $=\frac{11}{11}=1 A$
Potential across the wire $=$ current $\times$ resistance $=10 \mathrm{V}$
since, Potential gradient is equal to potential per meter
Potential Gradient $=\frac{10}{10}=1 V / m$

Two students $P$ and $Q$ perform an experiment to verify Ohm's law for a conductor with resistance $R$. They use a current source and a voltmeter with least counts of $0.1 mA$ and $0.1 \,mV$, respectively. The plots of the variation of voltage drop $V$ across $R$ with current $I$ for both are shown below. The statement which is most likely to be correct?
Two cells of emf $2\, E$ and $E$ with internal resistance $r _{1}$ and $r _{2}$ respectively are connected in series to an external resistor $R$ (see $figure$). The value of $R ,$ at which the potential difference across the terminals of the first cell becomes zero is
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 $4.2\, kJ/kg$ $]$
ln the circuit in the figure, if no current flows through the galvanometer when the key $K$ is closed, the bridge is balanced. The balancing condition for bridge is
In the circuit shown below, the cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $10\,V$ and internal resistance of $1\, ohm$. The other resistances are shown in the figure. The potential difference ${V_A} - {V_B}$ is ................ $V$
