In a potentiometer experiment, it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across 52cm of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by resistance of 5 Ω, a balance is found when the cell is connected across 40 cm of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

A person decides to use his bath tub water to generate electric power to run a 40 watt bulb. The bath tub is located at a height of 10 m from the ground and it holds 200 liters of water. If we install a water driven wheel generator on the ground, at what rate should the water drain from the bath tub to light bulb? How long can we keep the bulb on, if the bath tub was full initially. The efficiency of generator is 90%. (g = 10m/s2)

A cell of emf 3.4 volt and internal resistance 3Ω connected to an ammeter having resistance 2Ω and to an external resistance of 100Ω. When a voltmeter is connected across the 100 Ω resistance the ammeter reading is 0.04 ampere. Find the voltage read by the voltmeter and its resistance. Had the voltmeter been an ideal one, what would have been its reading.

When a cell is connected in a circuit, a current I1 flows in the circuit. When one more identical cell is connected in series with the first one, a current I2 is found to flow in the circuit. When same cell is connected in parallel with the first one, the current is found to be I3. Show that: 3 I2 I3 = 2 I1 (I2 + I3).

A galvanometer having a coil resistance of 100 Ω  gives a full scale deflection when a current of one milli-ampere is passed through it. What is the value of resistance which can convert this galvanometer into ammeter giving a full scale deflection for a current of 10 A? A resistance of the required value is available but it will get burnt if the energy dissipated in it is greater than one watt. Can it be used for the above described conversion of the galvanometer? When this modified galvanometer is connected across the terminals of battery, it shows a current 4 A . The current drops to 1 A ., when the resistance of 1.5 Ω  is connected in series with modified galvanometer. Find the emf and internal resistance of battery.
