The charge flowing through a resistance $R$ varies with time $t$ as $ Q=at-bt^2 $ where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants . The total heat produced in $R$ is
A uniform wire of resistance $9$ $\Omega$ is cut into $3$ equal parts. They are connected in the form of equilateral triangle $ABC$. A cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$ and negligible internal resistance is connected across $B$ and $C$. Potential difference across $AB$ is ............... $V$
In a meter bridge experiment, resistances are connected as shown in the following figure. The balancing length $l_1$ is $55\, cm$. Now, an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and the new balancing length is found to be $75\, cm$. The value of $x$ is
An electric kettle has two coils. When one of these is switched on, the water in the kettle boils in $6\,\min$ . When the other coil is switched on, the water boils in $3\,\min$. If the two coils are connected in series, the time taken to boil the water in the kettle is ............. $min$
In the adjoining circuit, the $e.m.f.$ of the cell is $2\, volt$ and the internal resistance is negligible. The resistance of the voltmeter is $80 \,ohm$. The reading of the voltmeter will be ............. $volt$
For what value of unknown resistance $X$, the potential difference between $B$ and $D$ will be zero in the circuit shown in the figure ............... $\Omega$
A letter $A$ is constructed of a uniform wire with resistance $1.0\,\Omega \,per\,cm$. The sides of the letter are $20\, cm$ and the cross piece in the middle is $10\, cm$ long. The apex angle is $60^o$. The resistance between the ends is .............. $\Omega$
In the given potentiometer circuit length of the wire $AB$ is $3\,m$ and resistance is $R = 4.5 \,\Omega.$ The length $AC$ for no deflection in galvanometer is ................ $\mathrm{m}$
Two square metal plates $A$ and $B$ are of the same thickness and material. The side of $B$ is twice that of $A$. These are connected as shown in series. If the resistances of $A$ and $B$ are denoted by $R_A$ and $R_B,$ then $(R_A/R_B)$ is
