When an ammeter of negligible internal resistance is inserted in series with circuit it reads $1A$. When the voltmeter of very large resistance is connected across $X$ it reads $1V$. When the point $A$ and $B$ are shorted by a conducting wire, the voltmeter measures $10\, V$ across the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is equal to .............. $\Omega$

c Initially ammeter measures current $1 A$ through the circuit, when voltmeter measures voltage $1 \mathrm{V}$ the resistance is,
$R=\frac{V}{I}=1 \Omega$
When the point $A$ and $B$ are shorted by a conducting wire, the voltmeter measures $10 \mathrm{V}$ across the battery.
Hence the current is
$I=\frac{10}{1}=10 A$
Now, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is
$V=E-I r$
$10=12-10 r$
$10 r=2$
$r=0.2 \Omega$

According to Joule's law, if the potential difference across a conductor having a material of specific resistance remains constant, then the heat produced in the conductor is directly proportional to
On interchanging the resistances, the balance point of a meter bridge shifts to the left by $10\ cm$. The resistance of their series combination is $1\ k\Omega$. How much was the resistance on the left slot before interchanging the resistances? .................. $\Omega$
In the circuit shown in the figure, the switch $S$ is initially open and the capacitor is initially uncharged. $ I_1, I_2$ and $I_3$ represent the current in the resistance $2\,\Omega , 4\,\Omega $ and $8\,\Omega$ respectively.
An electric bulb rated as $200\, {W}$ at $100 \,{V}$ is used in a circuit having $200\, {V}$ supply. The resistance $'R'$ that must be put in series with the bulb so that the bulb delivers the same power is $.....\,\Omega$
What will be the most suitable combination of three resistors $A =2\, \Omega, B =4\, \Omega, C =6\, \Omega$ so that $\left(\frac{22}{3}\right)\Omega$ is equivalent resistance of combination$?$
