C
Is excited
c (c) Human body, though has a large resistance of the order, of $K\Omega $(say $10\,K\Omega $), is very sensitive to minute currents even as low as a few $mA$. Electrons, excites and disorders the nervous system of the body and hence one fails to control the activity of the body.

An electron (charge $= 1.6 × 10^{-19}$ coulomb) is moving in a circle of radius $5.1 × 10^{-11}\,m$ at a frequency of $6.8 × 10^{15} $ revolutions/sec. The equivalent current is approximately
The supply voltage to room is $120\ V$. The resistance of the lead wires is $6\,\Omega$ . A $60\ W$ bulb is already switched on. What is the decrease of voltage across the bulb, when a $240\ W$ heater is switched on in parallel to the bulb? ............. $V$
A rise of temperature of $4\,^oC$ is observed in a conductor by passing a current. If the current is tripled, the rise temperature will be .............. $^oC$
The figure shows a tetrahedron, each side of which has a resistance $r$ Choose the correct statement $(s)$ related to the resistance between any two points.
Three $60\, W$ light bulbs are mistakenly wired in series and connected to a $120\,V$ power supply. Assume the light bulbs are rated for single connection to $120\,V$. With the mistaken connection, the power dissipated by each bulb is: .................. $W$
