Circuit:
Calculation of $\frac{1}{\text{R}_{AB}} = \frac{1}{2\text{R}} + \frac{1}{2\text{R}}\text{ or }\text{R}_{AB} = \text{R}$
Current through CD = 0
Current through ACB = $\frac{10\text{V}}{4\Omega} = 2.5\text{A}.$

A storage battery of emf $8.0 V$ and internal resistance $0.5\ \Omega$ is being charged by a $120 V\ dc$ supply using a series resistor of $15.5\ \Omega.$ What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging? What is the purpose of having a series resistor in the charging circuit?
Electrons are continuously in motion within a conductor but there is no current in it unless some source of potential is applied across its ends. Give reason.
Two heating elements of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ when operated at a constant supply of voltage, $V$, Consume power $P_1$ and $P_2$ respectively. Deduce the expressions for the power of their combination when they are, in turn, connected in $(i)$ series and $(ii)$ parallel across the same voltage supply.
A potentiometer wire of length 1 m is connected to a driver cell of emf 3 V as shown in the figure. When a cell of 1.5 V emf is used in the secondary circuit, the balance point is found to be 60 cm. On replacing this cell and using a cell of unknown emf, the balance point shifts to 80 cm.
Calculate unknown emf of the cell.
Explain with reason, whether the circuit works, if the driver cell is replaced with a cell of emf 1 V.
Does the high resistance R, used in the secondary circuit affect the balance point? Justify your answer.
A (i) series (ii) parallel combination of two given resistors is connected, one by one, across a cell. In which case will the terminal potential difference, across the cell have a higher value?
n-identical cells, each of emf $\varepsilon,$ internal resistance r connected in series are charged by a dc source of emf $\varepsilon'$ using a resistance R.
Draw the circuit arrangement.
Deduce expressions for (a) the charging current and (b) the potential difference across the combination of cells.
Two primary cells of emfs wire $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2(\varepsilon_1>\varepsilon_2)$ are connected to a potentiometer wire AB as shown in fig. If the balancing lengths for the two combinations of the cells are 250cm and 400cm, find the ratio of $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2.$
You are given n resistors each of resistance r. They are first connected to get the minimum possible resistance. In the second case, these are again connected differently to get the maximum possible resistance. Calculate the ratio between minimum and maximum values of resistance so obtained.
