A wire of resistance \(4~\Omega\) is stretched to twice its original length. The resistance of a stretched wire would be:
1. | \(4~\Omega\) | 2. | \(8~\Omega\) |
3. | \(16~\Omega\) | 4. | \(2~\Omega\) |
In the circuit shown cells, \(A\) and \(B\) have negligible resistance. For \(V_A =12 ~\text{V}\), \(R_1 = 500 ~\Omega \), and \(R = 100 ~\Omega \) the galvanometer \((\text{G}) \) shows no deflection. The value of \(V_B\) is:
1. \(4\) V
2. \(2\) V
3. \(12\) V
4. \(6\) V
If the voltage across a bulb rated \((220~\text{V}\text-100~\text{W})\) drops by \(2.5\%\) of its rated value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease is:

2. \(2.5\%\)
3. \(5\%\)
4. \(10\%\)
A ring is made of a wire having a resistance of \(R_0=12~\Omega.\). Find points \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\), as shown in the figure, at which a current-carrying conductor should be connected so that the resistance \(R\) of the subcircuit between these points equals \(\frac{8}{3}~\Omega\)
1. | \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{5}{8}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{1}{3}\) |
3. | \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{3}{8}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\) |
If power dissipated in the \(9~\Omega\) resistor in the circuit shown is \(36\) W, the potential difference across the \(2~\Omega\) resistor will be:

4. \(4\) V
A current of \(2~\text{A}\) flows through a \(2~\Omega\) resistor when connected across a battery. The same battery supplies a current of \(0.5~\text{A}\) when connected across a \(9~\Omega\) resistor. The internal resistance of the battery is:
1. | \(\dfrac{1}{3}~\Omega\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{1}{4}~\Omega\) |
3. | \(1~\Omega\) | 4. | \(0.5~\Omega\) |
1. | is zero. |
2. | depends upon the choice of the two materials of the thermocouple. |
3. | is negative. |
4. | is positive. |
A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown in the figure below. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is k volt/cm. Ammeter present in the circuit reads 1.0 A when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths and respectively. The magnitudes of the resistors R and X in ohm, are then, respectively, equal to:
