[IMAGE 163]----------------------------

Circuit ABCDEF form Wheatstone bridge,

So, Resistance across arm AD, RAD=6Ω can be eliminated.

[IMAGE 164]----------------------------

From circuit ABCDEF:

Resistance 5Ω and 3Ω are in series and 2.5Ω and 1.5Ω are in series. Then both the series combinations are in parallel with each other. Thus equivalent resistance is

              1Req=18+14=38

   Req=83Ω

Now, the given circuit can be redrawn as

Current through battery,

I=510=0.5A



Q 2 :    

In an electrical circuit, the voltage is measured as V=(200±4)volt and the current is measured as I=(20±0.2)A. The value of the resistance is      [2024]

  • (10±4.2)Ω

     

  • (10±0.3)Ω

     

  • (10±0.1)Ω

     

  • (10±0.8)Ω

     

(2)

Given, voltage, (V)=(200±4)V

Current, (I)=(20±0.2)A

Resistance, (R)=VI=20020=10Ω

Now, error in R is given by,

ΔRR=ΔVV+ΔII=4200+0.220=0.03

   ΔR=R×0.03=10×0.03=0.3Ω

So, the value of Resistance is (10±0.3)Ω



Q 3 :    

A certain wire A has resistance 81 Ω. The resistance of another wire B of same material and equal length but of diameter thrice the diameter of A will be    [2023]

  • 81 Ω

     

  • Ω

     

  • 729 Ω

     

  • 243 Ω

     

(2)

Let wire A have cross sectional area A, radius r, length l and diameter d.

RResistance of wire

For wire B : L'=L; d'=3d; r'=3r

Area, A'=9A

As, R=ρLA  and  R'=ρL'A'=ρL9A=R9

Given : R=81Ω, R'=81Ω9=9Ω



Q 4 :    

The magnitude and direction of the current in the following circuit is            [2023]

[IMAGE 166]

  • 59 A from A to B through E

     

  • 1.5 A from B to A through E

     

  • 0.2 A from B to A through E

     

  • 0.5 A from A to B through E

     

(4)

Net emf of the circuit is

E=10-5=5V

Net resistance, R=1+2+7=10Ω

   Current, I=ER=510=0.5A

Current will be directed from A to B through E.

  • n2R

     

  • Rn2

     

  • nR

     

(2)

The resistance of a wire of length l and area A and resistivity ρ is given as

          R=ρlA

Given, l'=nl

As the volume of the wire remains constant

    A'l'=Al  or  A'=All'=Alnl  or  A'=An

   R'=ρl'A'  or  R'=ρnlAn=n2ρlA=n2R
