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:

1. \(\frac{2\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\) 2. \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{2\sigma_1\sigma_2}\)
3. \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{\sigma_1\sigma_2}\) 4. \(\frac{\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\)

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. \(1~\text{A}\)

Two rods are joined end to end, as shown. Both have a cross-sectional area of \(0.01~\text{cm}^2.\) Each is \(1~\text{m}\) long. One rod is of copper with a resistivity of \(1.7\times10^{-6}~\Omega\text{-cm},\) the other is of iron with a resistivity of \(10^{-5}~\Omega\text-\text{cm}.\) How much voltage is required to produce a current of \(1~\text A\) in the rods?
        
1. \(0.00145~\text V\)
2. \(0.0145~\text V\)
3. \(1.7\times10^{-6}~\text V\)
4. \(0.117~\text V\)
