C
Inside the wire but parallel to it
c (c) As current is flowing through it, it means charges are flowing along its length therefore heir must be some electric fleld parallel to the length of the wire. Hence correct option is $C.$

In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.
In the following circuit, the battery has an emf of $2\mathrm{V}$ and an internal resistance of $\frac{2}{3}\ \Omega$. The power consumption in the entire circuit is$..... W.$
In an electrolyte $3.2 \times {10^{18}}$ bivalent positive ions drift to the right per second while $3.6 \times {10^{18}}$ monovalent negative ions drift to the left per second. Then the current is
Resistance of one carbon filament and one tungsten lamp are measured individually when the lamp are lit and compared with their respective resistances when cold. Which one of the following statements will be true
