The potential difference \(V_\mathrm{A}-V_\mathrm{B}\) between the points \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) in the given figure is:
    

1.	\(-3~\text{V}\)	2.	\(+3~\text{V}\)
3.	\(+6~\text{V}\)	4.	\(+9~\text{V}\)

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

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

       

Two cities are \(150~\text{km}\) apart. Electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The fall of potential per km is \(8\) volts and the average resistance per 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. \(12.2~\text{kW}\)

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. \(2~\Omega\)

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:
1. \(20\%\)
2. \(2.5\%\)
3. \(5\%\)
4. \(10\%\)
