Important Questions on Current Electricity
A conducting wire of length , area of cross-section and electric resistivity is connected between the terminals of a battery. A potential difference is developed between its ends, causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be___
An electric cable having a resistance delivers of power at to a factory. If the efficiency of transmission is , then what is the value of ?
Three resistors having resistances and are connected as shown in the given circuit. The ratio of currents in terms of resistances used in the circuit is :

A heating coil of resistance takes to boil certain amount of water. If a similar heating coil is connected in series with the heating coil, then the time required to boil the water is , while time is required to boil the same amount of water if the coils are connected in parallel. What will be ?
