For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$, a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega $ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire, then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega $
In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell gives a balancing point at $75\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is $3: 2$, the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be.........$cm .$
The electromotive force of a primary cell is $2\, volts$. When it is short-circuited it gives a current of $4$ amperes. Its internal resistance in $ohms$ is
When current supplied by a cell to a circuit is $0.3 \,A$, its terminal potential difference is $0.9 \,V$. When the current supplied becomes $0.25 \,A$, its terminal potential difference becomes $1.0 \,V$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............ $\Omega$
A potential difference of $5 \,V$ is applied across a conductor of length $10 \,cm$. If drift velocity of electrons is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \,m / s$, then electron mobility will be ............ $m ^2 V ^{-1} s ^{-1}$
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 ................ $\Omega$
