A resistance of $2 \Omega$ is comnected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and an unknown resistance, greater than $2 \Omega$, is connected across the other gap. When these resistance are interchanged, the balance point shifts by $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is
A $3 \Omega$
B$4 \Omega$
C$5 \Omega$
D$6 \Omega$

A $9\, V$ battery with internal resistance of $0.5\,\Omega $ is connected across an infinite network as shown in the figure. All ammeters $A_1 , A_2, A_3$ and voltmeter $V$ are ideal. Choose correct statement
Temperature coefficient at $0\,^oC$ is $0.00125\,^oC^{-1}$. At a temperature of $25\,^oC$ its resistance is $1\,\Omega $. Find the temperature at which resistance is $1.2\,\Omega $
$32$ cells, each of $emf$ $3V$, are connected in series and kept in a box. Externally, the combination shows an $emf$ of $84\, V$. The number of cells reversed in the combination is
A copper wire of length $1\, m$ and radius $1\, mm$ is joined in series with an iron wire of length $2\, m$ and radius $3\, mm$ and a current is passed through the wires. The ratio of the current density in the copper and iron wires is
