A technician has only two resistance coils. By using them singly, in series or in parallel, he is able to obtain the resistance $3,4,12$ and $16 \,ohms$. The resistance of the two coils are ........... $ohms$
A$6$ and $10$
B$4$ and $12$
C$7$ and $9$
D$4$ and $16$

$\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}=3$
$R_1+R_2=16$
$R_1 R_2=48$
$R_1\left(16-R_1\right)=48$
$R_1^2-16 R_1+48=0$
$R_1=4,12$

Two sources of equal $emf$ are connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}\,({R_2} > {R_1})$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance ${R_2}$ is zero, then
A heating element has a resistance of $100\,\Omega $ at room temperature. When it is connected to a supply of $220\,V,$ a steady current of $2\,A$ passes in it and temperature is $500\,^oC$ more than room temperature. What is the temperature coefficient resistance of the heating element?
An insulating pipe of cross-section area $'A'$ contains an electrolyte which has two types of ions $\rightarrow$ their charges being $-e$ and $+2e$. $A$ potential difference applied between the ends of the pipe result in the drifting of the two types of ions, having drift speed $= v$ ($-ve$ ion) and $v/4$ ($+ve$ ion). Both ions have the same number per unit volume $= n$. The current flowing through the pipe is
