Six similar bulbs are connected as shown in the figure with a $DC$ source of $emf\; E$, and zero internal resistance. The ratio of power consumption by the bulbs when $(i)$ all are glowing and $(ii)$ in the situation when two from section $A$ and one from section $B$ are glowing, will be
By using only two resistance coils-singly, in series, or in parallel one should be able to obtain resistances of $3$, $4$, $12$ and $16\, ohms$. The separate resistances of the coil are
In the circuit shown below (on the left) the resistance and the emf source are both variable. The graph of seven readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter ( $V$ and $I$, respectively) for different settings of resistance and the emf, taken at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$, are shown below (on the right) by the dots connected by the curve $E F G H$. Consider the internal resistance of the battery to be negligible and the voltmeter an ammeter to be ideal devices. (Take, $R_0 \equiv \frac{V_0}{I_0}$ ).
Then, the plot of the resistance as a function of time corresponding to the curve $E F G H$ is given by
A $10\, V$ storage battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across a $50\,\Omega $ resistor. How much heat energy is produced in the resistor in $1$ hour ............... $J$
A cable of resistance $10\,\Omega $ carries electric power from a generator producing $250\, kW$ at $10000\, volt$. The current in the cable is ............. $A$
