A current of $1\, A$ is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb. Number of electrons passing through a cross section of the filament in $16$ seconds would be roughly
$10^{23}$
$10^{16}$
$10^{18}$
$10^{20}$
What is the resistance of an electric arc lamp, if the lamp uses $20\, A$ when connected to $220$ volt line ?
Two conducting wires of same material, equal length and equal diameter are connected in series. How does the heat produced by the combination of resistance change ?
$(a)$ What is meant by saying that the potential difference between two points is $1$ volt ?
$(b)$ Why does the connecting cord of an electrical heater not glow while the heating element does ?
$(c)$ Electrical resistivities of some substance at $20^{\circ} C$ are given below
Silver | $1.60 \times 10^{-8}\, \Omega m$ |
Copper | $1.62 \times 10^{8} \,\Omega$ |
