A uniform wire of resistance $20\,ohm$ having resistance $1\Omega /m$ is bent in the adjoining form of a circle as shown in the figure. If the equivalent resistance between $M$ and $N$ is $1.8 \,\Omega $, then the length of the shorter section is ................ $m$
  • $2$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $18$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2$
a
Let the resistance of the shorter part $\mathrm{MN}$ be $\mathrm{x}$. Total resistance is $20 \,\Omega .$ Hence, the resistance of longer $\mathrm{MN}$ part will be $(20-x)$. With respect to $\mathrm{M}$ and $\mathrm{N},$ the two portions are connected in parallel. Hence,

$R_{e q}=\frac{(20-x) x}{(20-x)+x}=1.8$

Solving, we get; $\mathrm{x}=2\, \Omega$

The resistance per unit length is $1\, \Omega / \mathrm{m} .$ So, length of shorter part $=2 \mathrm{\,m}.$

MCQ 3121 Mark
A wire of length $100\, cm$ is connected to a cell of emf $2\,V$ and negligible internal resistance. The resistance of the wire is $3\,\Omega $. The additional resistance required to produce a potential difference of $1\, mV/cm$ is ............. $\Omega$
  • A
    $47$
  • $57$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $55$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$57$
b
Let additional resistance is $\mathrm{R}$

then $\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{wire}}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}+3}$

$\phi  = \frac{{{V_{{\rm{wire }}}}}}{\ell } = \frac{{I{R_{{\rm{wire }}}}}}{\ell }$

$\frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-2}}=\left(\frac{2}{\mathrm{R}+3}\right) \frac{3}{(1)}$ solving this, we get

$\mathrm{R}=57 \,\Omega$

  • $\frac{{CE{R_2}}}{{{R_2} + r}}$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{{CE{R_2}}}{{{R_2} + r}}$
c
(c) In steady state current drawn from the battery $i = \frac{E}{{({R_2} + r)}}$
In steady state capacitor is fully charged hence No current will flow through line $(2)$
Hence potential difference across line $(1)$ is $V = \frac{E}{{({R_2} + r)}} \times {R_2}$, the same potential difference appears across the capacitor, so charge on capacitor $Q = C \times \frac{{E{R_2}}}{{({R_2} + r)}}$

  • $1A$ from $a$ to $b$ through $e$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$1A$ from $a$ to $b$ through $e$

Since ${E_1}(10\,V) > {E_2}(4\,V)$

So current in the circuit will be clockwise.

Applying Kirchoff's voltage law

$ - \,1 \times i + 10 - 4 - 2 \times i - 3i = 0$ $ \Rightarrow $ $i = 1\,A$ $(a$ to $b$ via $e)$

When a resistance of $2\,ohm$ is connected across the terminals of a cell, the current is $0.5$ amperes. When the resistance is increased to $5\, ohm$, the current is $0.25\, amperes$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............. $ohm$
  • A
    $0.5$
  • $1$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1$
b
(b) Let the $e.m.f.$ of cell be $E$ and internal resistance be $r$.

Then $0.5 = \frac{E}{{(r + 2)}}$ and $0.25 = \frac{E}{{(r + 5)}}$

On dividing, $2 = \frac{{5 + r}}{{2 + r}}$ $ \Rightarrow $  $r = 1\,\Omega $

The potential difference in open circuit for a cell is $2.2\, volts$. When a $4\, ohm$ resistor is connected between its two electrodes the potential difference becomes $2\, volts$. The internal resistance of the cell will be .............. $ohm$
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • $0.4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0.4$
d
$(4 + r)i = 2.2$ ...... $(i)$

and $4i = 2$ $ \Rightarrow $ $i = \frac{1}{2}$

Putting the value of $i$ in $(i)$, we get $r = 0.4\, ohm$.

$n$ identical cells each of $e.m.f.$ $E$ and internal resistance $r$ are connected in series. An external resistance $R$ is connected in series to this combination. The current through $R$ is
  • $\frac{{nE}}{{R + nr}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{nE}}{{nR + r}}$
  • C
    $\frac{E}{{R + nr}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{nE}}{{R + r}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{{nE}}{{R + nr}}$
a
Total $e.m.f. = nE$,

Total resistance $R + nr$

$ \Rightarrow $  $i = \frac{{nE}}{{R + nr}}$

Two identical cells send the same current in $2\,\Omega $ resistance, whether connected in series or in parallel. The internal resistance of the cell should be ............... $\Omega$
  • A
    $1$
  • $2$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $2.5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2$
b
In series , ${i_1} = \frac{{2E}}{{2 + 2r}}$

In parallel, ${I_2} = \frac{E}{{2 + \frac{r}{2}}} = \frac{{2E}}{{4 + r}}$

Since ${i_1} = {i_2}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{2E}}{{4 + r}} = \frac{{2E}}{{2 + 2r}}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $r = 2\,\Omega $

A torch battery consisting of two cells of $1.45\, volts$ and an internal resistance $0.15\,\Omega $, each cell sending currents through the filament of the lamps having resistance $1.5\,ohms$. The value of current will be ....... $A$
  • A
    $16.11$
  • $1.611$
  • C
    $0.1611$
  • D
    $2.6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1.611$
b
Here two cells are in series.

Therefore total emf $=$ $2E$.

Total resistance $=$ $R + 2r$

 $i = \frac{{2E}}{{R + 2r}} = \frac{{2 \times 1.45}}{{1.5 + 2 \times 0.15}} = \frac{{2.9}}{{1.8}} = \frac{{29}}{{18}} = 1.611\,amp$

A current of two amperes is flowing through a cell of $e.m.f.$ $5\, volts$ and internal resistance $0.5\, ohm$ from negative to positive electrode. If the potential of negative electrode is $10\,V$, the potential of positive electrode will be .............. $V$
  • A
    $5$
  • $14 $
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $16$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$14 $
b
${V_2} - {V_1} = E - ir = 5 - 2 \times 0.5 = 4\,volt$

$ \Rightarrow $ ${V_2} = 4 + {V_1} = 4 + 10 = 14\,volt$
