MCQ
In the circuit shown here, at which point is the current least?
- A$P$
- ✓$Q$
- C$R$
- D$S$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Q$
Current flowing through $S$ is the combined current from $Q$ and $R.$
Current flowing through $S$ is the same as the current from through $P.$
Current follows the path of least resistance.
Hence more current would flow through the $4\ ohm$ resistor.

As shown in the figure, a particle A of mass $2\,m$ and carrying charge $q$ is connected by a light rigid rod of length $L$ to another particle $B$ of mass $m$ and carrying charge $-q.$ The system is placed in an electric field $\vec E$ . The electric force on a charge $q$ in an electric field $\vec E$ is $\vec F = q \vec E $ . After the system settles into equilibrium, one particle is given a small push in the transverse direction so that the rod makes a small angle $\theta_0$ with the electric field. Find maximum tension in the rod.
