In the circuit shown, a meter bridge is in its balanced state. The meter bridge wire has a resistance $0.1\, ohm/cm$. The value of unknown resistance $X$ and the current drawn from the battery of negligible resistance is
A$6 \,\Omega$, $5\, amp$
B$10 \,\Omega$, $0.1\, amp$
C$4 \,\Omega$, $1.0 \,amp$
D$12 \,\Omega$, $0.5\, amp$

C$4 \,\Omega$, $1.0 \,amp$
c (c) Resistance of the part $AC$
${R_{AC}} = 0.1 \times 40 = 4\,\Omega $ and ${R_{CB}} = 0.1 \times 60 = 6\,\Omega $
In balanced condition $\frac{X}{6} = \frac{4}{6} \Rightarrow X = 4\,\Omega $
Equivalent resistance ${R_{eq}} = 5\,\Omega $ so current drawn from battery $i = \frac{5}{5} = 1\,A$.

A $16\, \Omega$ wire is bend to form a square loop. A $9 \,{V}$ supply having internal resistance of $1 \,\Omega$ is connected across one of its sides. The potential drop across the diagonals of the square loop is $.......\,\times 10^{-1} \,{V}$
The battery in the diagram is to be charged by the generator $G$. The generator has a terminal voltage of $120$ $\mathrm{volts}$ when the charging current is $10$ $\mathrm{amperes}.$ The battery has an $\mathrm{emf}$ of $100$ $\mathrm{volts}$ and an internal resistance of $1$ $\mathrm{ohm}.$ In order to charge the battery at $10$ $\mathrm{amperes}$ charging current, the resistance $R$ should be set at ................ $\Omega$
$A$ Wheatstone's bridge is balanced with a resistance of $625\, \Omega$ in the third arm, where $P, Q$ and $S$ are in the $1^{st}, 2^{nd}$ and $4^{th}$ arm respectively. If $P$ and $Q$ are interchanged, the resistance in the third arm has to be increased by $51\,\Omega$ to secure balance. The unknown resistance in the fourth arm is ............. $\Omega$
Two square metal plates $A$ and $B$ are of the same thickness and material. The side of $B$ is twice that of $A$. These are connected as shown in series. If the resistances of $A$ and $B$ are denoted by $R_A$ and $R_B,$ then $(R_A/R_B)$ is
The terminal voltage of the battery, whose emf is $10 \mathrm{~V}$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$, when connected through an external resistance of $4 \Omega$ as shown in the figure is:
A piece of fuse wire melts when a current of $15\, ampere$ flows through it. With this current, if it dissipates $22.5\, W$, the resistance of fuse wire will be .............. $\Omega$
