A current of $2\,A$ flows through a wire of crosssectional area $25.0\,mm ^2$. The number of free electrons in a cubic meter are $2.0 \times 10^{28}$. The drift velocity of the electrons is $...............\times 10^{-6}\,ms ^{-1}$ (given, charge on electron $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$ )
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
The adjoining figure shows the connections of potentiometer experiment to determine internal resistance of of a leclanche cell. When the cell is on open circuit the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.4\, m$ and on closing the key $K_2$ the balancing length becomes $1.7\, m$ . If the resistance $R$ through which current is drawn is $10\,\Omega $ then the internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$
The resistance of an electrical toaster has a temperature dependence given by $R\left( T \right) = {R_0}\left[ {1 + \alpha \left( {T - {T_0}} \right)} \right]$ in its range of operation. At ${T_0} = 300\,K,R = 100\,\Omega $ and at $T = 500\,K,\,R = 120\,\Omega $. The toaster is connected to a voltage source at $200\, V$ and its temperature is raised at a constant rate from $300$ to $500\, K$ in $30\, s$. The total work done in raising the temperature is
The figure shows a tetrahedron, each side of which has a resistance $r$ Choose the correct statement $(s)$ related to the resistance between any two points.
