B
current
b The area of cross section of conductor is non uniform so current density will be different but the flow of electrons will be uniform so current will be constant.

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient, across the potentiometer wire, is $k$ $volt/cm$ and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads $1.0\,\, A$ when two way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals $(i)$ $1$ and $2$ $(ii)$ $1$ and $3,$ is plugged in, are found to be at lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. The magnitudes, of the resistors $R$ and $X,$ in $ohms$, are then, equal, respectively, to
Resistances ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ are joined in parallel and a current is passed so that the amount of heat liberated is ${H_1}$ and ${H_2}$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{{{H_1}}}{{{H_2}}}$ has the value
A cell $E _{1}$ of $emf 6 V$ and internal resistance $2 \Omega$ is connected with another cell $E _{2}$ of $emf 4 V$ and internal resistance $8 \Omega$ (as shown in the figure). The potential difference across points $X$ and $Y$ is............ $V$
In the given potentiometer circuit arrangement, the balancing length ${AC}$ is measured to be $250$ ${cm}$. When the galvanometer connection is shifted from point $(1)$ to point $(2)$ in the given diagram, the balancing length becomes $400\, {cm}$. The ratio of the emf of two cells, $\frac{\varepsilon_{1}}{\varepsilon_{2}}$ is -
Five equal resistances each of resistance $R$ are connected as shown in the figure. A battery of $V\, volts$ is connected between $A$ and $B$. The current flowing in $AFCEB$ will be
Consider a $72\, cm$ long wire $AB$ as shown in the figure. The galvanometer jockey is placed at $P$ on $A B$ at a distance $x cm$ from $A$. The galvanometer shows zero deflection.
The value of $x,$ to the nearest integer, is ..... $cm$
When a resistance of $2\, ohm$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is $0.5\, A$. When the resistance is increased to $5\, ohm$, the current is $0.25\, A$. The $e.m.f.$ of the cell is ................. $V$
