  • A
    Steel wire when both are connected in series
  • B
    Aluminium wire when both are connected in parallel
  • C
    Aluminium wire when both are connected in series
  • D

$(b)$ Is Ohm's law universally applicable for all conducting elements? If not, give examples of elements which do not obey Ohm's law.
$(c)$ $A$ low voltage supply from which one needs high currents must have very low internal resistance. Why?
$(d)$ $A$ high tension $(HT)$ supply of, say, $6 \ kV$ must have a very large internal resistance. Why?

An ammeter $A$ of finite resistance and a resistor $R$ are joined in series to an ideal cell $C$. $A$ potentiometer $P$ is joined in parallel to $R$. The ammeter reading is $I_0$ and the potentiometer reading is $V_0$. $P$ is now replaced by a voltmeter of finite resistance. The ammeter reading now is $I$ and the voltmeter reading is $V$.

Which of the following wiring diagrams could be used to experimentally determine $R$ using Ohm's law? Assume an ideal voltmeter and an ideal ammeter.
