Q 1 i) A wire is drawn such that its radius changes from r to 2r.Calculate the new resistance?
(2)
ii)Three copper wires have lengths and cross sectional areas as (l,A);(2l,A/2) and (l/2,2A).In which wire
the resistance would be minimum?
Q 2 . Draw an electric circuit consisting of 6v battery ,a rheostat, voltmeter, ammeter ,key and two resistor of
resistance 5Ω each connected in parallel along with a resistance of 10Ω connected in series? Also calculate
the equivalent resistance of the combination?
