2. 11
3. 20
4. 9

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?

A carbon resistor of (47 4.7) k is to be marked with rings of different colours for its identification. The colour code sequence will be

1. Violet – Yellow – Orange – Silver
2. Yellow – Violet – Orange – Silver

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

1. Rn
2. n2R
3. Rn2
4. nR

A potentiometer is an accurate and versatile device to make electrical measurements of EMF because the method involves

1. potential gradients
2. a condition of no current flow through the galvanometer
3. a combination of cells, galvanometer and resistances
4. cells

A potentiometer wire is 100 cm long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obtained at 50 cm and 10 cm from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emf's is

1. 3 : 4
2. 3 : 2
3. 5 : 1
4. 5 : 4

The charge flowing through a resistance R varies with time t as Q = at - bt2, where a and b are positive constants. The total heat produced in R is

2. a3Rb
3. a3R6b
4. a3R3b
