A wire of resistance 12 ohms per meter is bent to form a complete circle of radius $$10\,cm.$$ The resistance between its two diametrically opposite points, $$A$$ and $$B$$ as shown in the figure, is
The resistance of length $$2\pi R$$ is $$12\Omega .$$ Hence the resistance of length $$\pi R$$ is $$6\Omega .$$ Thus two resistances of $$6\Omega $$ can be represented as shown in fig. 2.
$$\therefore $$ Equivalent resistance $$R = \frac{{6 \times 6}}{{12}} = 3\Omega $$

Water boils in the electric kettle in 15 minutes after switching on. If the length of heating wire is decreased to $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of its initial value, then the same amount of water will boil with the same supply voltage in

Cell having an emf $$\varepsilon $$ and internal resistance $$r$$ is connected across a variable external resistance $$R.$$ As the resistance $$R$$ is increased, the plot of potential difference $$V$$ across $$R$$ is given by :
The current through the resistance $$R$$
$$I = \left( {\frac{\varepsilon }{{R + r}}} \right)$$
The potential difference across $$R,$$
$$V = IR = \left( {\frac{\varepsilon }{{R + r}}} \right)R$$
$$V = \frac{\varepsilon }{{\left( {1 + \frac{r}{R}} \right)}};$$ when $$R = 0,V = 0,R = \infty ,V = \varepsilon $$
Thus $$V$$ increases as $$R$$ increases upto certain limit, but it does not increase further.

The number of free electrons per $$100\,mm$$ of ordinary copper wire is $$2 \times {10^{21}}.$$ Average drift speed of electrons is $$0.25\,mm/s.$$ The current flowing is

In a metre bridge, the balancing length from the left end (standard resistance of one ohm is in the right gap) is found to be $$20\,cm.$$ The value of the unknown resistance is
136.
Suppose the drift velocity $${v_d}$$ in a material varied with the applied electric field $$E$$ as $${v_d} \propto \sqrt E .$$ Then $$V-I$$ graph for a wire made of such a material is best given by :
$$\eqalign{
& i = neA{V_d}\,{\text{and}}\,{V_d} \propto \sqrt E \,\left( {{\text{Given}}} \right) \cr
& {\text{or,}}\,i \propto \sqrt E \cr
& {i^2} \propto E \cr
& {i^2} \propto V \cr} $$
Hence graph (C) correctly depicts the $$V-I$$ graph for a wire made of such type of material.

Two wires of the same metal have same length, but their cross-sections are in the ratio $$3:1.$$ They are joined in series. The resistance of thicker wire is $$10\,\Omega .$$ The total resistance of the combination will be
For the same length and same material,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{R_2}}}{{{R_1}}} = \frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}} = \frac{3}{1} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{R_2} = 3{R_1} \cr} $$
The resistance of thick wire,
$${R_1} = 10\,\Omega $$
The resistance of thin wire $$ = 3{R_1} = 3 \times 10 = 30\,\Omega $$
Total resistance $$ = 10 + 30 = 40\,\Omega $$

To verify Ohm’s law, a student is provided with a test resistor $${R_T},$$ a high resistance $${R_1},$$ a small resistance $${R_2},$$ two identical galvanometers $${G_1}$$ and $${G_2,}$$ and a variable voltage source $$V.$$ The correct circuit to carry out the experiment is

(i) An ammeter is made by connecting a low resistance $${R_2}$$ in parallel with the galvanometer $${G_2}.$$
(ii) A voltmeter is made by connecting a high resistance $${R_1}$$ in series with the galvanometer $${G_1}.$$
(iii) Voltmeter is connected in parallel with the test resistor $${R_T}.$$
(iv) Ammeter is connected in series with the test resistor $${R_T}.$$
(v) A variable voltage source $$V$$ is connected in series with the test resistor $${R_T}.$$
