A potentiometer has uniform potential gradient. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire is $10^{-7} \, ohm-meter$ and the current passing through it is $0.1\, ampere$; cross-section of the wire is $10^{-6}\, m^2$. The potential gradient along the potentiometer wire is
Two identical batteries, each of $e.m.f.$ $2\, volt$ and internal resistance $1.0\, ohm$ are available to produce heat in an external resistance $R = 0.5\,ohm$ by passing a current through it. The maximum Joulean power that can be developed across $R$ using these batteries is ............. $watt$
In the fig. shown for given values of $R_1$ and $R_2$ the balance point for jockey is at $40\, cm$ from $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a resistance of $10\,\Omega $, balance shifts to $50\, cm. R_1$ and $R_2$ are $(AB = 1\,m)$
$n$ identical bulbs, each designed to draw a power $p$ from a certain voltage supply, are joined in series across that supply. The total power which they will draw is
Two rods of copper and iron with the same cross-sectional area are joined at $S$ and a steady current $I$ flows through the rods as shown in the figure. Choose the most appropriate representation of charges accumulated near the junction $S$.
Two bulbs $X$ and $Y$ having same voltage rating and of power $40\, watt$ and $60\, watt$ respectively are connected in series across a potential difference of $300\, volt$, then
