Two identical fuses are rated at $10\,A$. If they are joined
Ain parallel, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $20\,A$
Bin parallel, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $5\,A$
Cin series, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $10\,A.$

d A fuse is a piece of wire resistance which acts in a way such that if the voltage in a circuit exceeds the rating of the fuse then the fuse wire melts and the circuit becomes an open circuit, thereby breaking the circuit and preventing the components from getting damaged due to short circuit. Now, if two fuses are in series, the melting of a single fuse can break the circuit and so in series the rating will be $10 \mathrm{A}$. However, in parallel, even if one fuse is melted, the other fuse still works and so the net rating will be $20 \mathrm{A}$.

An electric heater consists of a nichrome coil and runs under $220 \,V$, consuming $1 \,kW$ power. Part of its coil burned out and it was reconnected after cutting off the burnt portion.The power it will cunsume now is
$E$ denotes electric field in a uniform conductor, $I$ corresponding current through it, ${v_d}$ drift velocity of electrons and $P$ denotes thermal power produced in the conductor, then which of the following graph is incorrect
In a meter bridge, the null point is found at a distance of $25\, cm$ from $A$. If now a resistance of $10\,\Omega $ is connected in parallel with $S$, the null point occurs at mid point of $AB$. The value of $R$ is ................. $\Omega$
In meter bridge experiment for measuring unknown resistance ' $S$ ', the null point is obtained at a distance $30 cm$ from the left side as shown at point $D$. If $R$ is $5.6 k \Omega$, then the value of unknown resistance ' $S$ ' will be $\Omega .$
A uniform metallic wire carries a current $2\,A$. when $3.4\,V$ battery is connected across it. The mass of uniform metallic wire is $8.92 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$. density is $8.92 \times 10^3\,kg / m ^3$ and resistivity is $1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega- m$. The length of wire is $l=............\,m$
A potential divider is used to give outputs of $4\, V$ and $8\, V$ from a $12\, V$ source. Which combination of resistances, $(R_1, R_2, R_3)$ gives the correct voltages ? $R_1 : R_2 : R_3$
Two wires of same material have length $L$ and $2L $ and cross-sectional areas $4A$ and $A$ respectively. The ratio of their specific resistance would be
