B$4\, A$ and $5\, A$
b When switch $S$ is open total current through ammeter.
$i = \frac{{20}}{{(3 + 2)}} = 4\,A$.
When switch is closed $i = \frac{{20}}{{3 + (2||2)}} = 5\,A$.

In the experiment of calibration of voltmeter, a standard cell of $e.m.f\,\,1.1\,volt$ is balanced against $440\,cm$ of potential wire. The potential difference across the ends of resistance is found to balance against $220\,cm$ of the wire. The corresponding reading of voltmeter is $0.5\,volt.$ The error in the reading of volmeter will be .................. $volt$
.............. $A$ the current flowing through the resistance $R_2$ of the circuit shown in fig if the resistance are equal to $R_1 = 20\ \Omega, R_2 = 30 \ \Omega$ and $R_3 = 60 \ \Omega$ and potentials of points $1, 2$ and $3$ are equal to $V_1= 20\, V,$ $V_2 = 30\ V$ and $V_3 = 60\ V$
The effective resistance of a parallel connection that consists of four wires of equal length, equal area of cross-section and same material is $0.25\, \Omega$. What will be the effective resistance if they are connected in series ? (In $\Omega$)
The same mass of copper is drawn into two wires $1\, mm$ and $2\, mm$ thick. Two wires are connected in series and current is passed through them. Heat produced in the wire is in the ratio
