As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ is carrying a constant current $i$ through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force $F$. Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain $\varepsilon$ when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.
When a resistance of $2\, ohm$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is $0.5\, A$. When the resistance is increased to $5\, ohm$, the current is $0.25\, A$. The $e.m.f.$ of the cell is ................. $V$
Figure shows a part of an electric circuit. The potentials at points $a , b$ and $c$ are $30\,V , 12\,V$ and $2\,V$ respectively. The current through the $20 \Omega$ resistor will be $........\,A$
A heating coil can heat the water of a vessel from $20\,^oC$ to $60\,^oC$ in $30$ minutes. Two such heating coils are put in series and then used to heat the same amount of water through the same temperature range. The time taken now will be ............ $min$ (neglecting thermal capacity of the coils)
If the resistance of a conductor is $5\,\Omega\,\,$ at $\,50\,^oC$ and $7\, \Omega\,$ at $\,100\,^oC$ then the mean temperature coefficient of resistance of the material is ............... $^oC$
