In a wire of circular cross-section with radius $r$, free electrons travel with a drift velocity $V$ when a current $I$ flows through the wire. What is the current in another wire of half the radius and of the same material when the drift velocity is $2V$

A potential difference of $10 \,V$ is applied across a conductor of $1000 \,\Omega$. The number of electrons flowing through the conductor in $300 \,s$ is ..........
Which of the following will NOT be observed when a multimeter (operating in resistance measuring mode) probes connected across a component, are just reversed?
A Daniel cell is balanced on $125\,cm$ length of a potentiometer wire. Now the cell is short-circuited by a resistance $2\, ohm$ and the balance is obtained at $100\,cm$. The internal resistance of the Daniel cell is .............. $ohm$
A battery is charged at a potential of $15\, V$ for $8$ hours when the current flowing is $10\, A$. The battery on discharge supplies a current of $5\, A$ for $15$ hours. The mean terminal voltage during discharge is $14\, V$. The "Watt-hour" efficiency of the battery is .............. $\%$
$A$ current $I$ flows through a uniform wire of diameter $d$ when the mean electron drift velocity is $V$. The same current will flow through a wire of diameter $d/2$ made of the same material if the mean drift velocity of the electron is :
