A potentiometer wire is 100 cm long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite directions. The balance points are obtained at 50 cm and 10 cm from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of the emf of the two cells is:

1. 5 : 4
2. 3 : 4
3. 3 : 2
4. 5 : 1

Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If \(\sigma_1~\text{and}~\sigma_2\) are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is:

A circuit contains an ammeter, a battery of \(30~\text{V},\) 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 the reading in the ammeter will be:
1. \(0.5~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.02~\text{A}\)
3. \(2~\text{A}\)
4. \(1~\text{A}\)

A potentiometer wire of length \(L\) and a resistance \(r\) are connected in series with a battery of EMF \(E_{0 }\) and resistance \(r_{1}\). An unknown EMF is balanced at a length l of the potentiometer wire. The EMF \(E\) will be given by:
1. \(\frac{L E_{0} r}{l r_{1}}\)
2. \(\frac{E_{0} r}{\left(\right. r + r_{1} \left.\right)} \cdot \frac{l}{L}\)
3. \(\frac{E_{0} l}{L}\)
4. \(\frac{L E_{0} r}{\left(\right. r + r_{1} \left.\right) l}\)

A potentiometer wire has a length of \(4​​~\text{m}\) and resistance  \(8~\Omega.\)  The resistance that must be connected in series with the wire and an energy source of emf \(2~\text{V}\), so as to get a potential gradient of \(1~\text{mV}\) per cm on the wire is:
1. \(32~\Omega\)
2. \(40~\Omega\)
3. \(44~\Omega\)
4. \(48~\Omega\)

\({A, B}~\text{and}~{C}\) are voltmeters of resistance \(R,\) \(1.5R\) and \(3R\) respectively as shown in the figure above. When some potential difference is applied between \({X}\) and \({Y},\) the voltmeter readings are \({V}_{A},\) \({V}_{B}\) and \({V}_{C}\) respectively. Then:

        

Two cities are \(150~\text{km}\) apart. The electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The fall of potential per km is \(8~\text{volts}\) and the average resistance per \(\text{km}\) is \(0.5~\text{ohm}.\) The power loss in the wire is:
1. \(19.2~\text{W}\)
2. \(19.2~\text{kW}\)
3. \(19.2~\text{J}\)
4. \(12.2~\text{kW}\)

The figure given below shows a circuit when resistances in the two arms of the meter bridge are \(5~\Omega\) and \(R\), respectively. When the resistance \(R\) is shunted with equal resistance, the new balance point is at \(1.6l_1\). The resistance \(R\) is:
