Given: p.d. = 10V, I = 2amp, t = 1 min = 60s.
We know that:
$\text{I} = \frac{\text{Q}}{\text{T}}$
Thus, Q = I × t.
Q = × 60.
Q = 120C.
Work done = p.d. × charge moved
Work done = 120 × 10J
Work done = 1200J.

Calculate the area of cross-section of a wire if its length is 1.0m, its resistance is $23 Ω$ and the resistivity of the material of the wire is $1.84\times10 Ω\ \text{m}.$
The electrical resistivities of four materials P, Q, R and S are given below:
$\begin{matrix}\text{P}&6.84\times10^{-8}\Omega\text{m}\\\text{Q}&1.70\times10^{-8}\Omega\text{m}\\\text{R}&1.0\times10^{15}\Omega\text{m}\\\text{S}&11.0\times10^{-7}\Omega\text{m}\end{matrix}$
Which material will you use for making:
The resistors $R_1 , R_2 , R_3$ and $R_4$ in the figure given below are all equal in value.
What would you expect the voltmeters $A, B$ and $C$ to read assuming that the connecting wires in the circuit have negligible resistance?
