A rod of length $l$ with thermally insulated lateral surface is made of a material whose thermal conductivity $K$ varies as $K = C/T$ , where $C$ is a constant. The ends are at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ . The heat current density is
Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material, having radii in the ratio $1: 2$ carry currents in the ratio $4: 1$. The ratio of drift speed of electrons in $A$ and $B$ is .......
A cell of internal resistance $r$ drives current through an external resistance $R$ . The power delivered by the cell to the external resistance will be maximum when:
The supply voltage to room is $120\ V$. The resistance of the lead wires is $6\,\Omega$ . A $60\ W$ bulb is already switched on. What is the decrease of voltage across the bulb, when a $240\ W$ heater is switched on in parallel to the bulb? ............. $V$
