S; because it has high resistivity of $\frac{11}{10000000}\text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually nichrome).
Q; because it has very low resistivity of $\frac{1.7}{100000000}\text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually copper).
R; because it has very very high resistivity of$1.0\times100000000000000\ \text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually rubber).

Two resistances when connected in parallel give resultant value of $2$ ohm; when connected in series the value becomes $9$ ohm. Calculate the value of each resistance.
An electric bulb is rated as 10W, 220V. How many of these bulbs can be connected in parallel across the two wires of 220V supply line if the maximum current which can be drawn is 5A?
Derive the expression for the heat produced due to a current ‘I’ flowing for a time interval ‘t’ through a resistor ‘R’ having a potential difference ‘V’ across its ends. With which name is this relation known?
What is a voltmeter? How is a voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points. Explain with the help of a diagram.
