There is a current of $20$ amperes in a copper wire of ${10^{ - 6}}$ square meter area of cross-section. If the number of free electrons per cubic meter is ${10^{29}}$, then the drift velocity is
A $50 \,W$ bulb connected in series with a heater coil is put to an $AC$ mains. Now the bulb is replaced by a $100 \,W$ bulb. The heater output will ...........
An ammeter with internal resistance $90\,\Omega $ reads $1.85\, A$ when connected in a circuit containing a battery and two resistors $700\,\Omega $ and $410\,\Omega $ in series. Actual current will be
A bulb of $100\, W$ is connected in parallel with an ideal inductance of $1\, H$. This arrangement is connected to a $90\,V$ battery through a switch. On pressing the switch, the
$A$ battery of $\mathrm{emf}$ $E_0 = 12\, V$ is connected across a $4\,m$ long uniform wire having resistance $4\,\Omega /m$. The cells of small $\mathrm{emfs}$ $\varepsilon_1 = 2\,V$ and $\varepsilon_2 = 4\,V$ having internal resistance $2\Omega$ and $6\Omega$ respectively, are connected as shown in the figure. If galvanometer shows no deflection at the point $N$, the distance of point $N$ from the point $A$ is equal to
