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 ................ $m$

Answera
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 $=2 \mathrm{\,m}.$

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 ............. $\Omega$
Answerb
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
