C$4.8$
c Current through $6\,\Omega$ resistance in parallel with $3\,\Omega$ resistance $= 0.4\, A$
So total current $=$ $0.8 + 0.4 = 1.2\, A$
Potential drop across $4\,\Omega = 1.2 \times 4 = 4.8\,V$

In previous problem, if the cell had been connected in parallel (instead of in series) which of the above graphs would have shown the relationship between total current $I$ and $n$?
When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3\, A$ flows in the opposite direction potential difference across the terminals of the battery is $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is ............... $\mathrm{V}$
The circuit shown here is used to compare the emf of two cells $E_1$ and $E_2 (E_1 > E_2)$. The null point is at $C$ when the galvanometer is connected to $E_1$. When the galvanometer is connected to $E_2$, the null point will be
A charged particle having drift velocity of $7.5 \times 10^{-4}\, ms ^{-1}$ is an electric field of $3 \times 10^{-10}\, Vm ^{-1}$ has a mobility in $m ^{2} V ^{-1} s ^{-1}$ of
A $2\, volt$ battery, a $15\,\Omega $ resistor and a potentiometer of $100\, cm$ length, all are connected in series. If the resistance of potentiometer wire is $5\,\Omega $, then the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire is ............... $V/cm$
