C$30$
c (c) Suppose resistance $R$ is corrected in series with bulb. Current through the bulb $i = \frac{{90}}{{30}} = 3\,A$
Hence for resistance $V = i\,R$$ \Rightarrow $ $90 = 3 \times R \Rightarrow R = 30\,\Omega $

Two identical cells each of emf $1.5 \,V$ are connected in parallel across a parallel combination voltmeter connected in the circuit measures $1.2 \,V$.
The internal resistance of each cell is.................$\Omega$
A wire has a non-uniform cross-section as shown in figure.A steady current flows through it. The drift speed of electrons at points $P$ and $q$ is $v_P$ and $v_Q$.
A cell having an emf $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a variable external resistance $R.$ As the resistance $R$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $V$ across $R$ is given by
When the resistance $R$ (indicated in the figure below) is changed from $1 \,k \Omega$. to $10 \,k \Omega$, the current flowing through the resistance $R'$ does not change. What is the value of the resistor $R'?$
