Two students $P$ and $Q$ perform an experiment to verify Ohm's law for a conductor with resistance $R$. They use a current source and a voltmeter with least counts of $0.1 mA$ and $0.1 \,mV$, respectively. The plots of the variation of voltage drop $V$ across $R$ with current $I$ for both are shown below. The statement which is most likely to be correct?
A$P$ has only random error(s)
B$Q$ has only systematic error(s)
C$Q$ has both random and systematic errors
D$P$ has both random and systematic errors

D$P$ has both random and systematic errors
d (d)
For $P$ errors are both positive and negative.
For $Q$ errors are only positive.
So, $P$ has both random and systematic errors.

The e.m.f. of a cell is $E\, volts$ and internal resistance is $r$ $ohm$. The resistance in external circuit is also $r$ $ohm$. The p.d. across the cell will be
A constant voltage is applied between the two ends of a metallic wire. If both the length and the radius of the wire are doubled, the rate of heat developed in the wire
Two identical cells send the same current in $2\,\Omega $ resistance, whether connected in series or in parallel. The internal resistance of the cell should be ............... $\Omega$
In a potentiometer experiment, it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52\ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $ 5\,\Omega$, a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40\ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$
A potentiometer has uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6\,m$ and $2\,m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The $e.m.f.$’s of the cells are in the ratio of
When a resistance of $2\, ohm$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is $0.5\, A$. When the resistance is increased to $5\, ohm$, the current is $0.25\, A$. The $e.m.f.$ of the cell is ................. $V$
