A cylindrical wire of radius $0.5 \,mm$ and conductivity $5 \times 10^{7}\, S / m$ is subjected to an electric field of $10 \,mV / m .$ The expected value of current in the wire will be $x ^{3} \,\pi mA$. The value of $x$ is ......
The charge flowing through a resistance $R$ varies with time according to $Q = at -bt^2.$ The total heat produced in $R$ is : (assume that direction of current not reversed)
In the given circuit the current flowing through the resisitance $20$ $\mathrm{ohms}$ is $0.3$ $\mathrm{ampere}$ while the ammeter reads $0.8$ $\mathrm{ampere}.$ What is the value of $R_1$? ................ $\mathrm{ohm}$
In the circuit shown, the reading of the Ammeter is doubled after the switch is closed. Each resistor has a resistance $1\,\Omega$ and the ideal cell has an $e.m.f.$ $10\,V$. Then, the Ammeter has a coil resistance equal to ............ $\Omega$
Potentiometer wire of length $1 \,m$ is connected in series with $490\,\Omega $ resistance and $2\,V$ battery. If $0.2\, mV/cm $ is the potential gradient, then resistance of the potentiometer wire is ................ $\Omega$
