A wire has uniform resistance per unit length (in ). Find the resistance between points and if the side of the big square is (The inner square is made by joining mid points of the outer square)



Important Questions on Current Electricity



A carbon resistance has the following colour code. What is the value of the resistance?

The Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure below, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as has the colour code (orange, red, brown). The resistors and are and , respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as , would be









Model a torch battery of length to be made up of a thin cylindrical bar of radius and a concentric thin cylindrical shell of radius filled in between with an electrolyte of resistivity (see figure). If the battery is connected to a resistance of value , the maximum Joule heating in will take place for :

In a conductor, if the number of conduction electrons per unit volume is and mean free time is (femtosecond), its approximate resistivity is:


The values of resistance and tolerance, respectively, are
