d $(4 + r)i = 2.2$ ...... $(i)$
and $4i = 2$ $ \Rightarrow $ $i = \frac{1}{2}$
Putting the value of $i$ in $(i)$, we get $r = 0.4\, ohm$.

A cell of internal resistance $1.5\,\Omega $ and of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\, volt$ balances $500\, cm$ on a potentiometer wire. If a wire of $15\,\Omega $ is connected between the balance point and the cell, then the balance point will shift
A current of $10\, A$ exists in a wire of crosssectional area of $5\, mm ^{2}$ with a drift velocity of $2 \times 10^{-3}\, ms ^{-1}$. The number of free electrons in each cubic meter of the wire is ..........
The series combination of two batteries, both of the same emf $10 \mathrm{\;V},$ but different internal resistance of $20\; \Omega$ and $5\; \Omega,$ is connected to the parallel combination of two resistors $30\; \Omega$ and $\mathrm{R}\; \Omega .$ The voltage difference across the battery of internal resistance $20\; \Omega$ is zero, the value of $\mathrm{R}(\text { in } \Omega)$ is
