A current of 3 amp flows through the 2Ω resistor shown in the circuit. The power dissipated in the 5-Ω resistor is: [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Current Electricity - Question 8

Clearly, 2Ω, 4Ω and ( 1 + 5) Ωresistors are
in parallel. Hence, potential difference is
same across each of them.
∴ I1 × 2 = I2 × 4 = I3 × 6

Given I1 = 3A ∴ I1 × 2 = I3 × 6
Given I1 = 3A.
∴ I1 × 2 = I3 × 6 provides

Now, the potential across the 5Ω resistor is
V = I3 × 5 = 1 × 5 = 5V.
∴ the power dissipated in the 5Ωresistor

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Current Electricity - Question 11

A galvanometer of resistance 50 Ω is connectedto battery of 3V along with a resistance of 2950 Ωin series. A full scale deflection of 30 divisions isobtained in the galvanometer. In order to reducethis deflection to 20 divisions, the resistance inseries should be [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Current Electricity - Question 11

Total internal resistance = (50+2950)Ω
= 3000 Ω
Emf of the cell, ε = 3V

Current for full scale deflection of 30
divisions is 1.0 mA.
∴ Current for a deflection of 20 divisions

Let the resistance be x Ω. Then

= 4500 Ω
But the resistance of the galvanometer
is 50Ω
∴ Resistance to be added
= (4500 –50) Ω= 4450 Ω

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient, across the potentiometer wire, is k volt/cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0 A when two way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths ℓ1 cm and ℓ2 cm respectively. The magnitudes, of the resistors R and X, in ohms, are then, equal, respectively, to             [2010]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Current Electricity - Question 15

(i) When key between the terminals 1
and 2 is plugged in,
P.D. across R = IR = k l1
⇒ R = k l1 as I = 1A
(ii) When key between terminals 1 and 3 is
plugged in,
P.D. across (X + R) = I(X + R) = k l2
⇒ X + R = k l2
∴ X = k (l2 – l1)
∴ R = kl1 and X = k (l2 – l1)
