d Suppose resistance of wires are ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ then $\frac{6}{5} = \frac{{{R_1}{R_2}}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}}$. If ${R_2}$ breaks then ${R_1} = 2\,\Omega $

Variation of current passing through a conductor as the voltage applied across its ends as varied is shown in the adjoining diagram. If the resistance $(R)$ is determined at the points $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$, we will find that
The Wheatstone bridge shown in Fig. here, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as $R_1$ has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors $R_2$ and $R_4$ are $80\, \Omega $ and $40\,\Omega $, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as $R_3$ would be
A cell $E _{1}$ of $emf 6 V$ and internal resistance $2 \Omega$ is connected with another cell $E _{2}$ of $emf 4 V$ and internal resistance $8 \Omega$ (as shown in the figure). The potential difference across points $X$ and $Y$ is............ $V$
A heating element has a resistance of $100\,\Omega $ at room temperature. When it is connected to a supply of $220\,V,$ a steady current of $2\,A$ passes in it and temperature is $500\,^oC$ more than room temperature. What is the temperature coefficient resistance of the heating element?
The balancing length for a cell is $560 \;\mathrm{cm}$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \;\Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60\; \mathrm{cm} .$ If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{\mathrm{N}}{10} \;\Omega,$ where $\mathrm{N}$ is an integer then value of $\mathrm{N}$ is
In the arrangement shown in figure when the switch $S_2$ is open, the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = L/2$. When the switch $S_2$ is closed, the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = 5L /12$ . The internal resistance $(r)$ of $6\, V$ cell, and the $\mathrm{emf}$ $E$ of the other battery are respectively
Say switches $S_1, S_2$ and so on upto $S_6$ are closed, one after other in order (first $S_1$, then $S_2$) at regular intervals of $1$ minute starting from $t = 0$. The graph of current versus time is best represented as
