What is the reading of voltmeter in the following figure .............. $V$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $5$
  • $4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4$
d
(d) Resistance between $A$ and $B$ $ = \frac{{1000 \times 500}}{{(1500)}} = \frac{{1000}}{3}$
So, equivalent resistance of the circuit
${R_{eq}}$ $ = 500 + \frac{{1000}}{3} = \frac{{2500}}{3}$
 Current drawn from the cell
$i = \frac{{10}}{{(2500/3)}} = \frac{3}{{250}}A$
Reading of voltmeter i.e.
potential difference across $AB = \frac{3}{{250}} \times \frac{{1000}}{3} = 4\,V$

$\frac{6}{23}\,A$ and $\frac{18}{23}\,A$
a
 In the following figure Resistance of part $PNQ$;

${R_1} = \frac{{10}}{4} = 2.5\,\Omega $ and

Resistance of part $PMQ$;

${R_2} = \frac{3}{4} \times 10 = 7.5\,\Omega $

${R_{eq}} = \frac{{{R_1}{R_2}}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}} = \frac{{2.5 \times 7.5}}{{(2.5 + 7.5)}} =\frac{{15}}{8}\,\Omega $.

Main Current $i =$ $\frac{3}{{\frac{{15}}{8} + 1}} = \frac{{24}}{{23}}A$

So, $i_1= i \times \left( {\frac{{{R_2}}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}}} \right) = \frac{{24}}{{23}} \times \left( {\frac{{7.5}}{{2.5 + 7.5}}} \right) = \frac{{18}}{{23}}A$

and ${i_2} = i - {i_1} = \frac{{24}}{{23}} - \frac{{18}}{{23}} = \frac{6}{{23}}A$.

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $9$
  • $12$
Answer

(d) In steady state current flows through $4\, \Omega$  resistance only and it is $i = \frac{{10}}{{(4 + 1)}} = 2\,amp$.

Potential difference across $4\, \Omega$  resistance is $V = 2 \times 4 = 8\,volt$
Hence, potential difference across each capacitor is $4\,V$
So charge on each capacitor $Q = 3 \times 4 = 12 \,\mu C$.

In the circuit shown in figure, switch $S_1$ is initially closed and $S_2$ is open. Find $V_a -V_b$ .............. $V$
  • A
    $4$
  • $8$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $16$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$8$
b
Switch ${S_2}$ is open so capacitor is not in circuit.

Current through $3\,\Omega $ resistor $ = \frac{{24}}{{3 + 3}} = 4\;A$

Let potential of point $‘O’$ shown in fig. is ${V_O}$
then using ohm’s law

${V_O} - {V_a} = 3 \times 4 = 12\,V$  .... $(i)$

Now current through $5\,\Omega $ resistor $ = \frac{{24}}{{5 + 1}} = 4\,A$

So ${V_0} - {V_b} = 4 \times 1 = 4\,V$  ..... $(ii)$

From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$ ${V_b} - {V_a} = 12 - 4 = 8\,V.$

In the circuit as shown in figure the
  • A
    Resistance $R = 46 \,\Omega$
  • B
    Current through $20\,\Omega$ resistance is $0.1 \,A$
  • C
    Potential difference across the middle resistance is $2\, V$
  • All option are correct
Answer
Correct option: D.
All option are correct
d
$\frac{1}{{R'}} = \frac{1}{{10}} + \frac{1}{{10}} + \frac{1}{{20}}$$ \Rightarrow R' = \frac{{20}}{5} = 4\;\Omega $

Now using ohm’s law $i = \frac{{25}}{{R + R'}}$$ \Rightarrow 0.5 = \frac{{25}}{{R + 4}}$

$ \Rightarrow R + 4 = \frac{{25}}{{0.5}} = 50$ $ \Rightarrow R = 50 - 4 = 46\;\Omega $

Current through $20\,\Omega $ resistor $ = \frac{{0.5 \times 5}}{{20 + 5}} = \frac{{2.5}}{{25}} = 0.1\,A$

Potential difference across middle resistor
$=$ Potential difference across $20\,\Omega $$ = 20 \times 0.1 = 2\,V$

  • $48$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $40$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
$48$
a
According to the above problem,

the voltmeter with resistance $R_{v}=120$ ohm and resistor $R_{2}=60$

ohm are in parallel, hence equivalent resistance between them is

$R_{e}=\frac{R_{2} R_{v}}{R_{2}+R_{v}}$

$R_{e}=\frac{(60)(120)}{60+120}=40 \Omega$

Now the reading of voltmeter can be obtain by

$V_{v}=V\left(\frac{R_{e}}{R_{1}+R_{e}}\right)$

$V_{v}=120\left(\frac{40}{60+40}\right)$

$V_{v}=40\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=48 \mathrm{V}$

In the given circuit the current flowing through the resisitance $20$ $\mathrm{ohms}$ is $0.3$ $\mathrm{ampere}$ while the ammeter reads $0.8$ $\mathrm{ampere}.$ What is the value of $R_1$? ................ $\mathrm{ohm}$
  • A
    $30$ 
  • B
    $40$ 
  • C
    $50$ 
  • $60$ 
Answer
Correct option: D.
$60$ 
d
Total current in ammeter is $0.8 \mathrm{A}$

Current through $20\, ohm$ resistor is $0.3 \mathrm{A},$ hence the voltage across it is

$V=0.3 \times 20=6 V$

Current through $15 \,ohm$ resistor is

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{6}{15}=0.4 A$

Hence current through $\mathrm{R} 1$ is, $\mathrm{I}^{\prime}=0.8-(0.3+0.4)=0.1 \mathrm{A}$

Therefore,

$R 1=\frac{V}{I^{\prime}}=\frac{6}{0.1}=60 \Omega$

So if connected in series, a very small current will flow or no current will flow. An ideal voltmeter draws $0$ current from the circuit. So when we arrange it in series, It doesn't work as a voltmeter but as resistance and also the reading is shown by the voltmeter is the voltage across its terminals.

Two identical fuses are rated at $10\,A$. If they are joined
  • A
    in parallel, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $20\,A$
  • B
    in parallel, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $5\,A$
  • C
    in series, the combination acts as a fuse of rating $10\,A.$
  • Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
d
A fuse is a piece of wire resistance which acts in a way such that if the voltage in a circuit exceeds the rating of the fuse then the fuse wire melts and the circuit becomes an open circuit, thereby breaking the circuit and preventing the components from getting damaged due to short circuit. Now, if two fuses are in series, the melting of a single fuse can break the circuit and so in series the rating will be $10 \mathrm{A}$. However, in parallel, even if one fuse is melted, the other fuse still works and so the net rating will be $20 \mathrm{A}$.

If no current flows through the ammeter $(1),$ potential on the $20 \mathrm{\,W}$ resistance becomes $2 \mathrm{\,V}.$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=\frac{4 \mathrm{V}}{0.4 \mathrm{\,A}}=10\, \Omega$

This is a balanced wheatstone bridge circuit. Therefore, we can drop $10 \,\Omega$ resistance across points band d for the further analysis of the bridge. In This case, combination of resistances in upper and lower branches are in series with equivalent resistances $15 \,\Omega$ and $9 \,\Omega$ respectively. These equivalent resistances are connected in parallel across junction $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{c}.$ Thus equivalent resistance of the circuit $-$

$\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{9}$ or $\quad \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{(15)(9)}{15+9}=\frac{135}{24}=5.62\, \Omega$

Current through circuit i $=\frac{10}{5.62}=1.78 \mathrm{\,A}$

If current through upper and lower branches of the network are $\mathrm{i}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{i}_{2}$, then according to Kirchoff's function law $-$

$\mathrm{i}_{1}+\mathrm{i}_{2}=1.78 \mathrm{\,A}$

and $\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{a}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)+\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{b}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}\right)=\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{a}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right)+\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}\right)$

or $\quad \mathrm{i}_{1}(5+10)^{3 / 4}\, \mathrm{i}_{2}(3.0+6.0)$ or $(15) \mathrm{i}_{1}=(9.0) \mathrm{i}_{2}$

On solving, we get $-$ $\mathrm{i}_{1}=0.67 \mathrm{\,A}$ and $\mathrm{i}_{2}=1.1 \mathrm{\,A}$

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{2}{{5}}\frac{{\rho l}}{{\pi {R^2}}}$
d
${\rm{R}} = \frac{{{{\rm{R}}_1}{{\rm{R}}_2}}}{{{{\rm{R}}_1} + {{\rm{R}}_2}}} = \frac{{\frac{{\rho  \times l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} \times \frac{{2\rho  \times l}}{{\pi \left( {{{(2{\rm{R}})}^2} - {{\rm{R}}^2}} \right)}}}}{{\frac{{\rho l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} + \frac{{2\rho l}}{{\left( {{{(2{\rm{R}})}^2} - {{\rm{R}}^2}} \right)}}}}$

$\frac{{\frac{{2{p^2}{l^2}}}{{3\pi {{\rm{R}}^4}}}}}{{\frac{{\rho l}}{{\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}}\left( {1 + \frac{2}{3}} \right)}} = \frac{{2\rho {\rm{l}}}}{{3\pi {{\rm{R}}^2}}} \times \frac{3}{5}$
