As shown, the circuit is made of $8$ different resistors. It is found that when $R_1 = 4\,\,\Omega,$ the resistance between $A$ and $B$ is $2\,\,\Omega.$ Now replace $R_1$ by a $6\,\,\Omega$ resistor, what is the resistance between $A$ and $B$?
A$1$
B$2$
C$6$
D$2.4$

D$2.4$
d $(i)$ $\frac{\mathrm{R}_{1} \times \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{x}}=2$
$\Rightarrow x=4$
$(ii)$ $\mathrm{R}_{1}=6$
Now $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}_{1} \times \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{x}}=\frac{6 \times 4}{10}=2.4$

The resistances in $WSB$ circuit shown in the diagram all are different and the current through the galvanometer is zero. If all thermal effects are negligible, the current through the galvanometer will not be zero, when
$AB$ is a potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ and its resistance is $10 \,\Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R = 40 \,\Omega$ and a battery of $e.m.f.$ $2 \,V$ and negligible internal resistance. If a source of unknown $e.m.f.$ $E$ is balanced by $40\, cm$ length of the potentiometer wire, the value of $E$ is ................. $V$
In a meter bridge experiment null point is obtained at $40\, cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$, then the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of $3X$ against $Y$, will be close to .............. $cm$
Two resistance of $100\ \Omega$ and $200\ \Omega$ are connected in series with a battery of $4 \mathrm{~V}$ and negligible internal resistance. $A$ voltmeter is used to measure voltage across $100 \Omega$ resistance, which gives reading as $1 \mathrm{~V}$. The resistance of voltmeter must be ___$\Omega$.
The length of a metallic wire is increased by $20 \%$ and its area of cross section is reduced by $4 \%$. The percentage change in resistance of the metallic wire is $.......$
As shown in the figure, a potentiometer wire of resistance $20\,\Omega$ and length $300\,cm$ is connected with resistance box (R.B.) and a standard cell of emf $4\,V$. For a resistance ' $R$ ' of resistance box introduced into the circuit, the null point for a cell of $20\,mV$ is found to be $60\,cm$. The value of ' $R$ ' is $.....\Omega$
A hot electric iron has a resistance of $80\,\Omega $ and is used on a $200\, V$ source. The electrical energy spent, if it is used for two hours, will be ........... $Wh$
