An ideal gas is filled in a closed rigid and thermally insulated container. A coil of $$100\,\Omega $$ resistor carrying current $$1A$$ for 5 minutes supplies heat to the gas. The change in internal energy of the gas is
The heat supplied under these conditions is the change in internal energy
$$Q = \Delta U$$
The heat supplied $$Q = {i^2}RT$$
=1 × 1 × 100 × 5 × 60 = 30,000 $$J$$ = $$30\,kJ$$

See the electrical circuit shown in this figure. Which of the following equations is a correct equation for it?
The algebraic sum of the changes in potential in complete transversal of a mesh (closed loop) is zero. i.e. $$\Sigma V = 0$$
So, $${\varepsilon _1} - \left( {{i_1} + {i_2}} \right)R - {i_1}{r_1} = 0$$

In electrolysis the mass deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to
According to first law of Faraday, the mass of a substance deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to the charge flowing through the electrolyte i.e. $$m \propto q$$
If a current $$i$$ passes for a time $$t,$$ then we know,
$$q = it$$
Hence, $$m \propto it\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,m \propto i$$
Thus, mass deposited on an electrode is directly proportional to current passed through it.

A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of $$30\,V$$ and a resistance $$40.8\,\Omega $$ all connected in series. If the ammeter has a coil of resistance $$480\,\Omega $$ and a shunt of $$20\,\Omega ,$$ then reading in the ammeter will be
The circuit is symmetrical about the axis $$POQ.$$
The circuit above the axis $$POQ$$ represents balanced wheatstone bride. Hence the central resistance $$2R$$ is ineffective. Similarly in the lower part (below the axis $$POQ$$ ) the central resistance $$2R$$ is ineffective.
Therefore the equivalent circuit is drawn.
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{1}{{{R_{PQ}}}} = \frac{1}{{4R}} + \frac{1}{{4R}} + \frac{1}{{2r}} = \frac{{r + r + 2r}}{{4Rr}} \cr
& {R_{PQ}} = \frac{{2Rr}}{{R + r}} \cr} $$

There are three copper wires of length and cross-sectional area $$\left( {L,A} \right),\left( {2L,\frac{A}{2}} \right)\left( {\frac{L}{2},2A} \right).$$ In which case is the resistance minimum ?
The relation between length and area is
$$R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
where, $$\rho $$ being specific resistance is the proportionality constant and depends on nature of material.
(i) Length $$ = \frac{L}{2},$$ area $$ = 2\,A$$
Putting in Eq. (i), we have
$$R = \frac{{\rho \left( {\frac{L}{2}} \right)}}{{2A}} = \frac{{\rho L}}{{4A}}$$
(ii) Length $$= L,$$ area $$ = A$$
Putting in Eq. (i), we have
$$R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}$$
(iii) Length $$ = 2L,$$ area $$ = \frac{A}{2}$$
Putting in Eq. (i), we have
$$R = \rho \frac{{2L}}{{\frac{A}{2}}} = \frac{{4\rho L}}{A}$$
As it is understood from above, resistance is minimum only in option (B).

If a current is passed through a spring then the spring will
When current is passed through a spring then current flows parallel in the adjacent turns. NOTE : When two wires are placed parallel to each other and current flows in the same direction, the wires attract each other.
Similarly here the various turns attract each other and the spring will compress.

In a large building, there are 15 bulbs of $$40\,W,$$ 5 bulbs of $$100\,W,$$ 5 fans of $$80\,W$$ and 1 heater of $$1\,kW.$$ The voltage of electric mains is $$220\,V.$$ The minimum capacity of the main fuse of the building will be:
Total power consumed by electrical appliances in the building, $${P_{total}} = 2500W$$
Watt = Volt × ampere
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 2500 = V \times I \cr
& \Rightarrow 2500 = 2201 \cr
& \Rightarrow I = \frac{{2500}}{{220}} = 11.36 \approx 12A \cr} $$
(Minimum capacity of main fuse)

Across a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross-section, a constant potential difference is applied. The quantity which remain constant along the conductor is
As the cross-sectional area of the conductor is non-uniform so current density will be different.
As $$I = JA\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
It is clear from Eq. (i), when area increases the current density decreases so the number of flow of electrons will be same and thus the current will be constant.

In the given circuit, with steady current, the potential drop across the capacitor must be
There will be no current flowing in branch $$BE$$ in steady condition.
Let $$I$$ be the current flowing in the loop $$ABCDEFA.$$
Applying Kirchoff's law in the loop moving in anticlockwise direction starting from $$C.$$
$$\eqalign{
& + 2V - I\left( {2R} \right) - I\left( R \right) - V = 0 \cr
& \therefore V = 3IR \cr
& \Rightarrow I = \frac{V}{{3R}}\,\,......\left( 1 \right) \cr} $$
Applying Kirchoffs law in the circuit $$ABEFA$$ we get on moving in anticlockwise direction starting from $$B$$
$$\eqalign{
& + V + {V_{cap}} - IR - V = 0\left( {{\text{where}}\,{V_{cap}}\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{the}}\,p.d.\,{\text{across}}\,{\text{capacitor}}} \right) \cr
& \therefore {V_{cap}} = IR = \left( {\frac{V}{{3R}}} \right) \times R = \frac{V}{3} \cr} $$
