Consider the two circuits $P$ and $Q$ shown below,which are used to measure the unknown resistance $R$. In each case,the resistance is estimated by using Ohm's law $R_{\text{est}} = \frac{V}{I}$,where $V$ and $I$ are the readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter,respectively. The meter resistances $R_V$ and $R_A$ are such that $R_A \ll R \ll R_V$. The internal resistance of the battery may be ignored. The absolute error in the estimate of the resistance is denoted by $\delta R = |R - R_{\text{est}}|$.
$(a)$ Express $\delta R_P$ in terms of the given resistance values.
$(b)$ Express $\delta R_Q$ in terms of the given resistance values.
$(c)$ For what value of $R$ will $\delta R_P \approx \delta R_Q$?

The figure shows a network of resistors and a battery. If $1\,A$ current flows through the branch $CF$,then find the current through the branches $DE$ and $BC$.

An electrical circuit consists of ten $100 \,\Omega$ resistors. Out of these $10$ resistors,a group of $n_1$ resistors are connected in parallel and another group of $n_2$ resistors are separately connected in parallel. These two groups are then connected in series and this combination is connected to a voltage source of $100 \,V$. If the net current through the circuit is $2.5 \,A$,the values of $n_1$ and $n_2$ are:

What is the maximum number of $50 \, W - 100 \, V$ bulbs that can be connected in parallel to a battery of $120 \, V$ and $10 \, \Omega$ internal resistance so that they glow with maximum intensity?
