A$384$
a (a) Current through the combination $i = \frac{{120}}{{(6 + 9)}} = 8\,A$
So, power consumed by $6\,\Omega$ resistance
$P = {(8)^2} \times 6 = 384\,\,W$

A steady current $I$ is set up in a wire whose cross-sectional area decreases in the direction of the flow of the current. Then, as we examine the narrowing region,
Two sources of equal $emf$ are connected to an external resistance $R$. The internal resistances of the two sources are ${R_1}$ and ${R_2}\,({R_2} > {R_1})$. If the potential difference across the source having internal resistance ${R_2}$ is zero, then
A cell having an emf $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected across a variable external resistance $R.$ As the resistance $R$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $V$ across $R$ is given by
This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1 :$ The possibility of an electric bulb fusing is higher at the time of switching $ON.$
Statement $2:$ Resistance of an electric bulb when it is not lit up is much smaller than when it is lit up.
Tend identical cells each of potential $E$ and internal resistance $r$ are connected in series to form a closed circuit. An ideal voltmeter connected across three cells, will read $...........E$
The ammeter $A$ reads $2\, A$ and the voltmeter $V$ reads $20\, V$. the value of resistance $R$ is (Assuming finite resistance's of ammeter and voltmeter)
