In the following diagram, the lengths of wires $A B$ and $B C$ are equal, but the radius of wire $A B$ is double that of $B C$. The ratio of potential gradient on wires $A B$ and on $B C$ will be (wires are made of same material)
A$4: 1$
B$1: 4$
C$2: 1$
D$1: 1$

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 $n$?
A conducting wire of length $ l$ area of cross-section $A$ and electric resistivity $\rho$ is connected between the terminals of a battery. $A$ potential difference $V$ is developed between its ends, causing an electric current.If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be
The resistance of platinum wire at $0^{\circ}\,C$ is $2\,\Omega$ and $6.8\,\Omega$ at $80^{\circ} \,C$. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire 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 .............. $\Omega$
A potentiometer consists of two wires $AC$ and $CB$ of same material and of equal lengths but diameters in the ratio $3 : 1.$ Then the potential gradients on the two wires will be in the ratio :-
In the shown arrangement of the experiment of the meter bridge if $AC$ corresponding to null deflection of galvanometer is $x$, what would be its value if the radius of the wire $AB$ is doubled
