Voltmeters $V_1$ and $V_2$ are connected in series across a $D.C.$ line. $V_1$ reads $80\, volts$ and has a per volt resistance of $200 \,\Omega$. $V_2$ has a total resistance of $32 \,kilo-ohms$. The line voltage is .............
A$120$
B$160$
C$220$
D$240$

D$240$
d (d) ${R_1} = 80 \times 200 = 16000\,\Omega = 16\,k\Omega $
Current flowing through ${V_1}$$=$ Current flowing through ${V_2}$ $=$ $\frac{{80}}{{16 \times {{10}^3}}} = 5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,A$.
So, potential differences across ${V_2}$ is
${V_2} = 5 \times {10^{ - 3}} \times 32 \times {10^3} = 160\,{\rm{volt}}$
Hence, line voltage $V = {V_1} + {V_2} = 80 + 160 = 240\,V$.

Four resistances are connected in a circuit in the given figure. The electric current flowing through $4\, ohm$ and $6\, ohm$ resistance is respectively
For a wire $\frac{R}{l}=\frac{1}{2}$ and length of wire is $l=5\, cm .$ If potential difference $1\, V$ is applied across it, current through wire will be: $( R =$ Resistance $)$ (in $A$)
As shown in the figure, a network of resistors is connected to a battery of $2\,V$ with an internal resistance of $3\,\Omega$. The currents through the resistors $R_4$ and $R_5$ are $I_4$ and $I_5$ respectively. The values of $I_4$ and $I_5$ are :
