Two cells, having the same emf, are connected in series through an external resistance R. Cells have internal resistances r₁ and r₂ (r₁ > r₂) respectively. When the circuit is closed, the potential difference across the first cell is zero, The value of R is

Kirchhoff's first and second laws for electrical circuits are consequences of

• conservation of energy

• conservation of electric charge and energy respectively

• conservation of electric charge

• conservation of electric charge

A potentiometer is an accurate and versatile device to make electrical measurements of E.M.F, because the method involves :

• Cells

• Potential gradients

• A condition of no current flow through the galvanometer

• A condition of no current flow through the galvanometer

The resistance of a wire is ‘R’ ohm. If it is melted and stretched to ‘n’ times its original length, its new resistance will be

A battery consists of a variable number 'n' of identical cells (having internal resistance 'r' each) which are connected in series. The terminals of the battery are short-circuited and the current I is measured. Which of the graphs shows the correct relationship between I and n?

You are given resistance wire of length 50 cm and a battery of negligible resistance. In which of the following cases is the largest amount of heat generated?

• When the wire is connected to the battery directly

• When the wire is divided into two parts and both the parts are connected to the battery in parallel.

• When the wire is divided into four parts and all the four parts are connected to the battery in parallel.

• When only half of the wire is connected to the battery
