The lengths and radii of three wires of same metal are in the ratios and respectively. They are joined in parallel and included in a circuit having current. Find current in each wire.

Important Questions on Current Electricity
Five resistances, a battery and an ammeter are connected as shown in . Find, the ammeter reading.

Calculate the steady-state current through resistor in the circuit shown in Fig. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible and

As shown in Fig., a variable rheostat of is used to control the potential difference across a load.
If the resistance is , what is the potential difference across the load?

As shown in Fig., a variable rheostat of is used to control the potential difference across a load.
If the load is removed, what should be the resistance at to get between and ?

In the circuit shown in Fig., both the ammeter and the cell have negligible resistance. Three external resistors are identical. When the switch is opened, the ammeter reads . What will the ammeter read when the switch is closed?

If the galvanometer in the circuit (Fig.) reads zero, find the value of resistor . The source has negligible internal resistance. If cool air is blown across the wire wound resistance, what effect will be noticed and why ?
