A $1\,m$ long copper wire carries a current of $1\,A$. If the cross section of the wire is $2.0\,mm ^{2}$ and the resistivity of copper is $1.7 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m$. the force experienced by moving electron in the wire is $\times 10^{-23}\,N$. (charge on electron $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$ )
A $1\,m$ long wire is broken into two unequal parts $X$ and $Y$ The $X$ part of the wire is streched into another wire $W$. Length of $W$ is twice the length of $X$ and the resistance of $W$ is twice that of $Y$. Find the ratio of length of $X$ and $Y$.
Two batteries $A$ and $B$ each of $e.m.f.$ $2\, V$ are connected in series to an external resistance $R = 1 \,ohm$. If the internal resistance of battery $A$ is $1.9\, ohms$ and that of $B$ is $0.9\, ohm$, what is the potential difference between the terminals of battery $A$ ............. $V$
The current flowing through a conductor connected across a source is $2\,A$ and $1.2\,A$ at $0^{\circ}\,C$ and $100^{\circ}\,C$ respectively. The current flowing through the conductor at $50^{\circ}\,C$ will be $......\times 10^2\,mA$.
