Potential and potential difference are vector quantities.

Read the following statements carefully and state whether each statement is true or false:
$(i)$ The quantity of charge flowing past a point multiplied by time is current.
$(ii)$ The flow of charge through a conducting wire connected to a cell is the result of a chemical reaction inside the cell.
$(iii)$ The resistivity of all pure metals increases with an increase in temperature.
$(iv)$ Ohm's law is a relation between the power used in a circuit to the current and the potential difference.
$(v)$ $A$ series circuit has only one conducting path for the electrons that move through it; a parallel circuit has multiple conducting paths.
$(vi)$ $A$ conducting wire offers resistance to the flow of electrons because electrons repel each other in the wire.

State with the help of a circuit diagram an activity to find the resistance $R$ of a given wire. $A$ current of $0.2 \, A$ passes through a resistor of $20 \, \Omega$. Find the potential difference across its ends.

Why is heat produced when a current is passed through a conductor?

The resistivity of a material does not change if:

$A$ cell,a resistor,a key and an ammeter are arranged as shown in the circuit diagrams of the figure. The current recorded in the ammeter will be
