Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant is $\frac{6}{8}\,ohm$. One of the resistance wire is broken and the effective resistance becomes $2\,\Omega $. Then the resistance in ohm of the wire that got broken was

C$6/5$
c If resistances are ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}$ then $\frac{{{R_1}{R_2}}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}} = \frac{6}{8}$ …..$(i)$
Suppose ${R_2}$ is broken then ${R_1} = 2\, \Omega $ ….. $ (ii)$
On solving equations $(i)$ and $(ii) $ we get ${R_2} = 6/5\,\Omega $

Two resistances equal at $0\,^oC$ with temperature coefficient of resistance $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
Every atom makes one free electron in copper. If $1.1$ $ampere$ current is flowing in the wire of copper having $1\, mm$ diameter, then the drift velocity (approx.) will be (Density of copper $ = 9 \times {10^3}\,kg\,{m^{ - 3}}$ and atomic weight = $63$)
Resistances are arranged in a cyclic order to form a balanced wheatstone bridge as shown in figure. Ratio of power consumed in the branches $P + Q$ and $R + S$ is
Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature, $100 \mathrm{~W}, 60 \mathrm{~W}$ and $40 \mathrm{~W}$ bulbs have filament resistances $\mathrm{R}_{100}, \mathrm{R}_{60}$ and $\mathrm{R}_{40}$, respectively, the relation between these resistances is
