Consider a block of conducting material ofresistivity '$\rho$' shown in the figure. Current '$I$' enters at '$A$' and leaves from '$D$'. We apply superp osition principle to find voltage '$\Delta V$ ' developed between '$B$' and '$C$'. The calculation is done in the following steps:
$(i)$ Take current '$I$' entering from '$A$' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
$(ii)$ Calculatefield $E(r)$ at distance '$r$' from $A$ by using Ohm's law $E = \rho j$, where j is the current per unit area at '$r$'.
$(iii)$ From the '$r$' dependence of $E(r)$, obtain the potential $V(r)$ at $r$.
$(iv)$ Repeat $(i), (ii)$ and $(iii)$ for current '$I$' leaving '$D$' and superpose results for '$A$' and '$D$'.
For current entering at $A$, the electric field at a distance '$r$'
from $A$ is
$AB$ is a potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ and its resistance is $10 \,\Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R = 40 \,\Omega$ and a battery of $e.m.f.$ $2 \,V$ and negligible internal resistance. If a source of unknown $e.m.f.$ $E$ is balanced by $40\, cm$ length of the potentiometer wire, the value of $E$ is ................. $V$
A wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta T$ in a time $t$. A number $N$ of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross-section but of length $2\, L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta T$ in the same time $t$. the value of $N$ is
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
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 ................ $\Omega$
