A meter bridge is set up as shown, to determine an unknown
resistance $$'X'$$ using a standard $$10\,ohm$$ resistor. The galvanometer shows null point when tapping-key is at $$52\,cm$$ mark. The end-corrections are $$1\,cm$$ and $$2\,cm$$ respectively for the ends $$A$$ and $$B.$$ The determined value of $$'X'$$ is

In the circuit shown, the cells $$A$$ and $$B$$ have negligible resistances. For $${V_A} = 12\,V,{R_1} = 500\,\Omega $$ and $$R = 100\,\Omega $$ the galvanometer $$\left( G \right)$$ shows no deflection. The value of $${V_B}$$ is
If potential difference across $$R\,\Omega $$ resistor is equal to potential difference of cell $$B,$$ galvanometer shows no deflection.
Applying Kirchhoff's law, $$500I + 100I = 12$$
So, $$I = \frac{{12 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{6} = 2 \times {10^{ - 2}}A$$
Hence, $${V_B} = 100\left( {2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right) = 2\,V$$

At room temperature, copper has free electron density of $$8.4 \times {10^{28}}$$ per $${m^3}.$$ The copper conductor has a cross-section of $${10^{ - 6}}{m^2}$$ and carries a current of $$5.4\,A.$$ The electron drift velocity in copper is
Between any two terminals, two resistors of two arms are in series i.e. between $$B$$ and $$C,$$ equivalent resistance is
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{{{R_{BC}}}} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} \cr
& \frac{1}{{{R_{BC}}}} = \frac{{2 + 1}}{8} \cr
& \therefore {R_{BC}} = \frac{8}{3}\Omega \cr} $$

Forty electric bulbs are connected in series across a $$220\,V$$ supply. After one bulb is fused the remaining $$39$$ are connected again in series across the same supply. The illumination will be
Since the opening or closing the switch does not affect the current through $$G,$$ it means that in both the cases there is no current passing through $$S.$$ Thus potential at $$A$$ is equal to potential at $$B$$ and it is the case of balanced wheatstone bridge..
$${I_P} = {I_Q}$$ and $${I_R} = {I_G}$$

A $$12\,cm$$ wire is given a shape of a right angled triangle $$ABC$$ having sides $$3\,cm,4\,cm$$ and $$5\,cm$$ as shown in the figure. The resistance between two ends $$\left( {AB,BC,CA} \right)$$ of the respective sides are measured one by one by a multi-meter. The
resistances will be in the ratio of
Motion of conduction electrons due to random collisions has no preferred direction and average to zero. Drift velocity is caused due to motion of conduction electrons due to applied electric field $$\vec E.$$

Consider a thin square sheet of side $$L$$ and thickness $$t,$$ made of a material of resistivity $$\rho .$$ The resistance between two opposite faces, shown by the shaded areas in the figure is
We know that $$R = \rho \frac{l}{a}$$
Where $$l$$ is the length of the conductor through which the current flows and a is the area of cross section.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Here}}\,l = L\,{\text{and}}\,a = L \times t \cr
& \therefore R = \frac{{\rho L}}{{L \times t}} = \frac{\rho }{t} \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ $$R$$ is independent of $$L$$
