Two resistances $r_1$ and $r_2\left(r_1 < r_2\right)$ are joined in parallel. The equivalent resistance $R$ is such that
A$R > r_1+r_2$
B$R > \sqrt{r_1 r_2}$
C$r_1 < R < r_2$
D$R < r_1$

In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by potentiometer, it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega $ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega $ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is, then ................ $\Omega $
$AB$ is a potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ and its resistance is $10 \,\Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R = 40 \,\Omega$ and a battery of $e.m.f.$ $2 \,V$ and negligible internal resistance. If a source of unknown $e.m.f.$ $E$ is balanced by $40\, cm$ length of the potentiometer wire, the value of $E$ is ................. $V$
A $10\, V$ storage battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across a $50\,\Omega $ resistor. How much heat energy is produced in the resistor in $1$ hour ............... $J$
A uniform metallic wire of length $L$ is mounted in two configurations. In configuration $1$ (triangle), it is an equilateral triangle and a voltage $V$ is applied to corners $A$ and $B$. In configuration $2$ (circle), it is bent in the form of a circle and the potential $V$ is applied at diametrically opposite points $P$ and $Q$. The ratio of the power dissipated in configuration $1$ to configuration $2$ is
An ideal battery of $4\, V$ and resistance $R$ are connected in series in the primary circuit of a potentiometer of length $1\, m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega $ . The value of $R$, to give a difference of $5\, mV$ across $10\, cm$ of potentiometer wire, is: ................ $\Omega$
