In a potentiometer circuit a cell of $EMF$ $1.5\, {V}$ gives balance point at $36\, {cm}$ length of wire. If another cell of $EMF$ $2.5\, {V}$ replaces the first cell, then at what length of the wire, the balance point occurs ? (in $cm$)
Two wires each of radius of cross section $r$ but of different materials are connected together end to end (in series). If the densities of charge carriers in the two wires are in the ratio $1 : 4$, the drift velocity of electrons in the two wires will be in the ratio:
A light bulb of resistance $R=16 \,\Omega$ is attached in series with an infinite resistor network with identical resistances $r$ as shown below. A $10 \,V$ battery drives current in the circuit. ............. $\Omega$ the value of $r$ such that the bulb dissipates about $1 \,W$ of power.
A wire of resistance $R$ is bent to form a square $ABCD$ as shown in the figure. The effective resistance between $E$ and $C$ is ( $E$ is mid-point of arm $CD$ )
The resistance of a $5\, cm$ long wire is $10\, \Omega$. It is uniformly stretched so that its length becomes $20\, cm$. The resistance of the wire is ............. $\Omega$
In the given figure $R_1=10 \Omega, R_2=8 \Omega, R_3=4 \Omega$ and $R_4=8 \Omega$. Battery is ideal with emf $12 \mathrm{~V}$. Equivalent resistant of the circuit and current supplied by battery are respectively.
A current of $10\, amp$ is passing through a metallic wire of cross sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6}\, m ^{2}$. If the density of the aluminum conductor is $2.7\, gm / cc$ considering aluminum gives $1$ electrons per atom for conduction find the drift speed of the electrons is ......... $\times 10^{-4} \,m / s$ if molecular weight of aluminum is $27 \,gm$.
A uniform heating wire of resistance $36\, \Omega$ is connected across a potential difference of $240\, {V}$ The wire is then cut into half and potential difference of $240\, {V}$ is applied across each half separately. The ratio of power dissipation in first case to the total power dissipation in the second case would be $1: {x}$, where ${x}$ is........... .
