A letter $'A'$ is constructed of a uniform wire with resistance $1.0\,\Omega $ per $cm$ , The sides of the letter are $20\, cm$ and the cross piece in the middle is $10\, cm$ long. The apex angle is $60$ . The resistance between the ends of the legs is close to ................ $\Omega$
One end of a Nichrome wire of length $2\,L$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is attatched to an end of another Nichrome wire of length $L$ and cross-sectional area $2\,A$. If the free end of the longer wire is at an electric potential of $8.0$ $\mathrm{volts}$, and the free end of the shorter wire is at an electric potential of $1.0$ $\mathrm{volt}$, the potential at the junction of the two wires is equal to ............. $V$
Resistances are arranged in a cyclic order to form a balanced wheatstone bridge as shown in figure. Ratio of power consumed in the branches $P + Q$ and $R + S$ is
When two resistance are connected in parallel then the equivalent resistance is $\frac {6}{5}\Omega $ . When one of the resistance is removed then the effective resistance is $2\, \Omega $. The resistance of the wire removed will be ................ $\Omega$
Twelve wires each having resistance $2 \Omega$ are joined to form a cube. A battery of $6 \mathrm{~V}$ emf is joined across point $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{c}$. The voltage difference between $e$ and $f$ is.______.V.
It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by potentiometer than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
$(i)$ In case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
$(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer allows greater precision.
$(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
$(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer, when using a potentiometer is not relevant.
Which of these reasons are correct?
Three resistors are connected to form the sides of a triangle $ABC$, the resistance of the sides $AB$, $BC$ and $CA$ are $40\,ohms$, $60\,ohms$ and $100\,ohms$ respectively. The effective resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ in $ohms$ will be
