A rod of a certain metal is $1.0\, m$ long and $0.6\, cm$ in diameter. Its resistance is $3.0 × {10^{ - 3}}\, ohm$. Another disc made of the same metal is $2.0\, cm$ in diameter and $1.0\, mm$ thick. What is the resistance between the round faces of the disc

(b) Resistivity of the material of the rod $\rho = \frac{{RA}}{l} = \frac{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}\pi {{(0.3 \times {{10}^{ - 2}})}^2}}}{1}$= $27 \times {10^{ - 9}}\pi \,\Omega \times m$
Resistance of disc $R = \frac{{({\rm{Thickness}})}}{{({\rm{Area\, of \,cross }}\,{\rm{section}})}}$
= $27 \times {10^{ - 9}}\pi \times \frac{{({{10}^{ - 3}})}}{{\pi \times {{(1 \times {{10}^{ - 2}})}^2}}}$$ = 2.7 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,\Omega .$

An electric iron draws $5\, amp$, a $TV$ set draws $3\, amp$ and refrigerator draws $2\, amp$ from a $220\, volt$ main line. The three appliances are connected in parallel. If all the three are operating at the same time, the fuse used may be of ............. $amp$
It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by potentiometer than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
$(i)$ In case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
$(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer allows greater precision.
$(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
$(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer, when using a potentiometer is not relevant.
Which of these reasons are correct?
Three $60\, W$ light bulbs are mistakenly wired in series and connected to a $120\,V$ power supply. Assume the light bulbs are rated for single connection to $120\,V$. With the mistaken connection, the power dissipated by each bulb is: .................. $W$
In the experiment of $Ohm's law,$ a potential difference of $5.0\, V$ is applied across the end of a conductor of length $10.0\, cm$ and diameter of $5.00\, mm .$ The measured current in the conductor is $2.00\, A$. The maximum permissible percentage error in the resistivity of the conductor is
A galvanometer of resistance, $G,$ is connected in a circuit. Now a resistance $R$ is connected in series of galvanometer. To keep the main current in the circuit unchanged, the resistance to be put in parallel with the series combination of $G$ and $R$ is
