Voltage across $$3\,\Omega $$ resistance is given by Ohm's law
i.e. $$V = IR = 3 \times {i_1}$$
$$ = 3 \times 0.8 = 2.4\,V\,\,\left( {{\text{as}}\,{i_1} = 0.8\,A} \right)$$
As $$3\,\Omega $$ and $$6\,\Omega $$ are in parallel, hence voltage across $$6\,\Omega $$ resistance will also be $$2.4\,V.$$
∴ Current through $$6\,\Omega $$ resistance
$${i_2} = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{{2.4}}{6} = 0.4\,A$$
∴ Total current in the circuit,
$$i = {i_1} + {i_2} = 0.8 + 0.4 = 1.2\,A$$
∴ Potential drop across $$4\,\Omega $$ resistance,
$$ = i \times 4 = 1.2 \times 4 = 4.8\,V$$

A battery is charged at a potential of $$15\,V$$ for $$8\,h$$ when the current flowing is $$10\,A.$$ The battery on discharge supplies a current of $$5\,A$$ for $$15\,h.$$ The mean terminal voltage during discharge is $$14\,V.$$ The watt-hour efficiency of the battery is
When we measure the emf of a cell by the potentiometer then no current is drawn from the external circuit. Thus, in this condition the actual value of a cell is found. In this way potentiometer is equivalent to an ideal voltmeter of infinite resistance. NOTE
The emf by the potentiometer is measured from null method in which zero deflection position is found on the wire.

A wire when connected to $$220 V$$ mains supply has power dissipation $${P_1}.$$ Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is $${P_2}.$$ Then $${P_2}:{P_1}$$ is
Case 1: $${P_1} = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$$ Case 2 : The wire is cut into two equal pieces. Therefore the resistance of the individual wire is $$\frac{R}{2}.$$ These are connected in parallel
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {R_{eq}} = \frac{{\frac{R}{2}}}{2} = \frac{R}{4} \cr
& \therefore {P_2} = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{\frac{R}{4}}} = 4\left( {\frac{{{V^2}}}{R}} \right) = 4{P_1} \cr} $$

An energy source will supply a constant current into the load if its internal resistance is
A
very large as compared to the load resistance
B
equal to the resistance of the load
C
non-zero but less than the resistance of the load
$$H = \frac{{{V^2}t}}{R}$$
Resistance of half the coil = $$\frac{R}{2}$$
∴ As $$R$$ reduces to half, $$'H'$$ will be doubled.

The length of a wire of a potentiometer is $$100\,cm,$$ and the e. m.f. of its standard cell is $$E$$ volt. It is employed to measure the e.m.f. of a battery whose internal resistance is $$0.5\,\Omega $$. If the balance point is obtained at $$1 = 30 cm$$ from the positive end, the e.m.f. of the battery is:
(where $$i$$ is the current in the potentiometer wire.)
From the principle of potentiometer, $$V \propto l$$
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{V}{E} = \frac{l}{L};\,{\text{where}}$$
$$V =$$ emf of battery, $$E =$$ emf of standard cell.
$$L =$$ length of potentiometer wire
$$V = \frac{{El}}{L} = \frac{{30E}}{{100}}$$ NOTE: In this arrangement, the internal resistance of the battery $$E$$ does not play any role as current is not passing through the battery.

In a Wheatstone's bridge, three resistances $$P, Q$$ and $$R$$ connected in the three arms and the fourth arm is formed by two resistances $${S_1}$$ and $${S_2}$$ connected in parallel. The condition for the bridge to be balanced will be
A
$$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{2R}}{{{S_1} + {S_2}}}$$
B
$$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{R\left( {{S_1} + {S_2}} \right)}}{{{S_1}{S_2}}}$$
C
$$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{{R\left( {{S_1} + {S_2}} \right)}}{{2{S_1}{S_2}}}$$
