Two cylindrical rods of uniform crosssection area $A$ and $2A$, having free electrons per unit volume $2n$ and $n$ respectively are joined in series. A current $I$ flows through them in steady state. Then the ratio of drift velocity of free electron in left rod to drift velocity of electron in the right rod is $\left( {\frac{{{v_L}}}{{{v_R}}}} \right)$

a Since current ${\rm{I}} = neA{v_d}$ through both rods
is same $2(\mathrm{n})$ e $\mathrm{A} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{L}}=\mathrm{n}$ e $(2 \mathrm{A}) \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{L}}}{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}}=1$

Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is suggestively shown below. Each electroplaques has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25 \,\Omega$ The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500 \,\Omega$, the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$
Two resistors $400\, \Omega$ and $800\, \Omega$ are connected in series across a $6 V$ battery. The potential difference measured by a voltmeter of $10\, k \Omega$ across $400\, \Omega$ resistor is close to$....V$
A potentiometer wire of length $1\,m$ and resistance $10\,\Omega$ is connected in series with a cell of $emf$ $2\,V$ with internal resistance $1 \,\Omega$ and a resistance box including a resistance $R$. If potential difference between the ends of the wire is $1\, mV$, the value of $R$ is ............. $\Omega $
A wire of resistance $10$ $\Omega$ is bent to form a circle. $P$ and $Q$ are points on the circumference of the circle dividing it into a quadrant and are connected to a Battery of $3\, V$ and internal resistance $1$ $\Omega$ as shown in the figure. The currents in the two parts of the circle are
