Following figure shows cross-sections through three long conductors of the same length and material, with square cross-section of edge lengths as shown. Conductor $B$ will fit snugly within conductor $A$, and conductor $C$ will fit snugly within conductor $B$. Relationship between their end to end resistance is
A$R_A = R_B = R_C$
B$R_A > R_B > R_C$
C$R_A < R_B < R_C$

A$R_A = R_B = R_C$
a (a) All the conductors have equal lengths. Area of cross-section of $A$ is $\{ {(\sqrt 3 \,a)^2} - {(\sqrt 2 \,a)^2}\} = {a^2}$
Similarly area of cross-section of $B=$ Area of cross-section of $C = a^2$
Hence according to formula $R = \rho \frac{l}{A};$ resistances of all the conductors are equal i.e.$ R_A = R_B = R_C$

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 ___$\Omega$.
Following figure shows four situations in which positive and negative charges moves horizontally through a region and gives the rate at which each charge moves. Rank the situations according to the effective current through the region greatest first
Some electric bulbs are connected in series across a $220\, V$ supply in a room. If one bulb is fused then remaining bulbs are connected again in series across the same supply. The illumination in the room will
Three resistances, each of $1\, ohm$, are joined in parallel. Three such combinations are put in series, then the resultant resistance will be ............. $ohm$
What is the number density of donor atoms which must be added to a pure germanium semiconductor to make $n-$ type semiconductor of conductivity $6.4\ {\Omega ^{ - 1}}\,c{m^{ - 1}}$? The mobility of electr ons in $n-$ type germanium is $4 \times {10^3}\ cm^2\ V^{-1}\ s^{-1}$. Neglect the contribution of holes to conductivity
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 .............. $cm$
