Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containing a cell, a key, an ammeter, a resistor of $2\,\Omega $ in series with a combination of two resistors ($4\,\Omega $ each) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the $2\,\Omega $ resistor be the same as that across the parallel combination of $4\,\Omega $ resistors? Give reason.
The electrical appliance having higher power draws a larger current.
A cylinder of a material is $10\, cm$ long and has a cross-section of $2\, cm ^{2}$. If its resistance along the length be $20\, ohm$ what will be its resistivity in number and units ?
State $Ohm's$ law. Write the mathematical representation of $Ohm's$ law. Use this relationship to define $1\, ohm.$ List two disadvantages of connecting different electrical appliances in series.
$(a)$ How much current will an electric bulb draw from a $220\, V$ source, if the resistance of the bulb filament is $1200\,ohm$ ?
$(b)$ How much current will an electric heater coil draw from a $220\, V$ source, if the resistance of the heater coil is $100\, ohm$ ?
