In the given figure, a battery of emf $E$ is connnected across a conductor $P Q$ of length $'Y'$ and different area of cross-sections having radii $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}\left(r_{2}\,<\,r_{1}\right)$.
Choose the correct option as one moves from $P$ to $Q$ :
A resistor dissipates $192\, {J}$ of energy in $1\, {s}$ when a current of $4\, {A}$ is passed through it. Now, when the current is doubled, the amount of thermal energy dissipated in $5 \,{s}$ in $.....\,J.$
Two conductors are made of the same material and have the same length. Conductor $A$ is a solid wire of diameter $1.0\, mm$. Conductor $B$ is a hollow tube of outside diameter $2.0\, mm$ and inside diameter $1.0\, mm$. The resistance ratio $R_A/R_B$ will be
The resistance in the two arms of a meter bridge are $5\,\Omega $ and $R\,\Omega $, respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6\, l_1$. The resistance $‘R’$ is ................. $\Omega$
The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is ‘$v$’ when a current ‘$i$’ is flowing in it. If both the radius and current are doubled, then drift velocity will be
