The resistances in the two arms of the meter bridge are $5 \,\Omega$ and $R \,\Omega$ respectively. When the resistance $R$ is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance point is at $1.6\,l_1$. The resistance $R$ is .................. $\Omega$
Thomson coefficient of a conductor is $10\,\mu V/K$. The two ends of it are kept at ${50\,^o}C$ and ${60\,^o}C$ respectively. Amount of heat absorbed by the conductor when a charge of $10\,C$ flows through it is
Two equal resistances when connected in series to a battery, consume electric power of $60\,W.$ If these resistances are now connected in parallel combination to the same battery, the electric power consumed will be .............. $W$
Consider a thin square sheet of side $\mathrm{L}$ and thickness $\mathrm{t}$, made of a material of resistivity $\rho$. The resistance between two opposite faces, shown by the shaded areas in the figure is
The current density is a solid cylindrical wire of radius $R ,$ as a function of radial distance $r$ is given by $J ( r )= J _{0}\left(1-\frac{ r }{ R }\right) .$ The total current in the radial region $r =0$ to $r =\frac{ R }{4}$ will be
Four resistances are connected in a circuit in the given figure. The electric current flowing through $4\, ohm$ and $6\, ohm$ resistance is respectively
A potentiometer has uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6\,m$ and $2\,m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The $e.m.f.$’s of the cells are in the ratio of
The resistance of platinum wire at $0^{\circ}\,C$ is $2\,\Omega$ and $6.8\,\Omega$ at $80^{\circ} \,C$. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire is :
