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 $C.$

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? .................. $\Omega$
Coefficient of linear expansion of material of resistor is $\alpha$. Its temperature coefficient of resistivity and resistance are $\alpha_\rho$ and $\alpha_R$ respectively, then correct relation is
A $2\, volt$ battery, a $15\,\Omega $ resistor and a potentiometer of $100\, cm$ length, all are connected in series. If the resistance of potentiometer wire is $5\,\Omega $, then the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire is ............... $V/cm$
A $220 \; V , 50 \; Hz$ AC source is connected to a $25 \; V$, $5 \; W$ lamp and an additional resistance $R$ in series (as shown in figure) to run the lamp at its peak brightness, then the value of $R$ (in ohm) will be
In the Wheatstone's bridge shown, $P = 2\,\Omega ,$ $Q = 3\,\Omega ,$ $R = 6\,\Omega $ and $S = 8\,\Omega $. In order to obtain balance, shunt resistance across '$S$' must be .............. $\Omega$
A rod of length $l$ with thermally insulated lateral surface is made of a material whose thermal conductivity $K$ varies as $K = C/T$ , where $C$ is a constant. The ends are at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ . The heat current density is
