Explanation

$ { dR \over R } = { 2dl \over l } $ (As $ \eta $ = 0.1% is small, dl = 0.1 %)

The reciprocal of resistivity is called

The reciprocal of resistivity (specific resistance) is conducting $ \sigma $ = knowledge base

A 10 m wire potentiometer is connected to an accumulator of steady voltage. A 7.8 m length of it balances the emf of a cell on 'open-circuit'. When cell delivers current through a conductor of resistance $10 \Omega $ it is balanced against 7.0 m of the same poleutomelic. What is the internal resistance of the cell ?

Explanation

Using the formula desired and used in the experiment $ r = R \left( l_1 - l_2 \over l_2 \right) $

A potentiometer is preferred over a voltmeter to measure the emf of a cell because.....

Explanation

Potentiometer measures the emf at null deflection of the galvanometer. $ \epsilon -Ir = V $ when $ I = 0 \Rightarrow V = \varepsilon $

If the deflection of the galvanometer is m the same direction at both the ends of the potentio meter wire, then point out the statement which is difinetly not the possible reason for the.

Explanation

If connecting wire in the galvanometer circuit is broken, the galvanometer will show null deflection, as no current passes through it.

A potentiometer wire, which is 4 m long is connected to the terminals of a battery of steady voltage. A leclanche cell gives a null point at 1m if the length of the potentiometer wire be increased by 1 m, What is the new position of the null point ?

Explanation

Emf of cell = Potential gradient x null point on potentiometer wire, Hence , $ { V_0 \over 4 } \times 1 = { V_0 \over 5} \times l $

An electric kettle takes 4A current at 220V How much time will it take to boil 1 kg of water from temprature $2 ^\circ C$ ? The temprature of boiling water is $10 ^ \circ C$ .

Explanation

$ P \times t = mc \triangle \theta $ $ \Rightarrow t = { mc \triangle \theta \over p } = { 4200 m \triangle \theta \over p } = { 4200 \times m \times \triangle \theta \over VI } $ $ \{ \therefore water = 4200 { 1 \over kg } \times {^ \circ C} \} $ $ \Rightarrow t ={ 4200 \times 1 \times (100 -20 ) \over 220 \times 4 }= 381 sec \approx 6.3 min $

The mean free path of electrons in a metal is 4×10-8m.The electric field which can give on an average 2 eV energy to an electron in the metal will be in a unit of Vm-1 :

Explanation

    Energy=2eV

     eV0=2 eV

 V0=2

Now, electric field E=24×10-8

                          =0.5×108

                         =5×107 Vm-1

A battery of internal resistance r, when connected across 2Ω resistor supplies a current of 4A, when the same battery is connected across a 5Ω resistor, it supplies a current of 2A. The value of r is
