Tungsten is used almost exclusively for filaments of electric bulb. List two reasons.
$(a)$ Name an instrument that measures potential difference between two points in a circuit. Define the unit of potential difference in terms of SI unit of charge and work. Draw the circuit symbols for $(i)$ variable resistor, $(ii)$ a plug key which is closed one.
$(b)$ Two electric circuits $I$ and $II$ are shown below
$(i)$ Which of the two circuits has more resistance ?
$(ii)$ Through which circuit more current passes ?
$(iii)$ In which circuit, the potential difference across each resistor is equal ?
$(iv)$ If $R_{1}>R_{2}>R_{3}$, in which circuit more heat will be produced in $R_{1}$ as compared to other two resistors ?
Three resistors of $5\, \Omega, 10\, \Omega$ and $15\, \Omega$ are connected in series and the combination is connected to battery of $30\, V$. Ammeter and voltmeter are connected in the circuit. Draw a circuit diagram to connect all the devices in proper correct order. What is the current flowing and potential difference across $10\, \Omega$ resistance ?
How can we maintain a potential difference across a conductor ?
