A $10\Omega$ resistor and a $20\Omega$ resistor are connected in parallel. The combination is connected to a $5.5V$ cell in one side and a $30\Omega$ rheostat in another side. The sliding contact of rheostat is connected to the other terminal of the battery through an ammeter. Find the maximum and minimum value of current in the circuit. Neglect the internal resistance of the cell.

Twelve resistors each of resistance $r$ are joined to form a cube as shown in the figure given below. Find the equivalent resistance between the diagonally opposite points $A$ and $F$.

What is the relationship between potential difference across the terminals of a cell and emf of the cell in an open circuit?

A few storage cells in series are to be charged from a $200 \mathrm{V}$ D.C. supply. The emf of each cell is $2.5 \mathrm{V}$ and internal resistance $0.1 \mathrm{\Omega }$. The charging current is $8 \mathrm{A}$. In this arrangement, how many cells can be changed and what extra resistance is required to be connected in the circuit?

Find the number of free electrons in a copper wire of length $1\mathrm{m}$ and cross sectional area $1 {\mathrm{mm}}^2$. Determine the charge carried by these free electrons. Number density of free electrons in copper is $8.5\times {10}^{28}$ per ${\mathrm{m}}^3$.

In a copper voltmeter, a varying electric current, as shown in graph of Fig. $6.17$, is passed. The mass of copper deposited at the end of $30$ seconds is $m$ gram. Using this graph, find the value of electro-chemical equivalent of copper in ${\mathrm{gc}}^{-1}$.

Two bulbs are rated $({\mathrm{P}}_1, \mathrm{V})$ and $({\mathrm{P}}_2, \mathrm{V})$. If they are connected $\left(\mathrm{i}\right)$ in series and $\left(\mathrm{ii}\right)$ in parallel across a supply $\mathrm{V}$, find the power dissipated in the two combinations in terms of ${\mathrm{P}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{P}}_2$.

A wire has resistance of $12$ ohms. It is bent to form a circle. The effective resistance between the ends of any of its diameter is
