Power consumed in the given circuit is \(P_1\). On interchanging the position of \(3~\Omega\) and \(12~\Omega\) resistances, the new power consumption is \(P_2\). The ratio of \(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\) is:
1. | \(2\) | 2. | \(1 \over 2\) |
3. | \(3 \over 5\) | 4. | \(2 \over 5\) |
In the case of a potentiometer, if the resistance of the rheostat is increased, then the balancing length for the same cell in the secondary circuit will:
1. increase
2. decrease
3. remain the same
4. increase or decrease
A coil heating a bucket full of water raises the temperature by 5 C in 2 min. lf the current in the coil is doubled, what will be the change in the temperature of water in 1 min? (Assume no loss of heat to the surroundings)
1. | 10 °C | 2. | 5 °C |
3. | 20 °C | 4. | 15 °C |
If the potential difference across ends of a metallic wire is doubled, the drift velocity of charge carriers will become:
1. double
2. half
3. four times
4. one-fourth
Potentiometer wire is replaced by another wire of the same material and same length but half the radius. For a given potential difference, sensitivity of the potentiometer:
1. decreases.
2. increases.
3. remains the same.
4. may increase or decrease.
