Two students perform the experiments on series and parallel combinations of two given resistors $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ and plot the following $V -I$ graphs.
Which of the graphs is (are) correctly labelled in terms of the words 'series' and 'parallel'. Justify your answer.
In series combination, for a given voltage, current is less as compared to that in parallel combination. Therefore, both the graphs are labelled correctly.
A nichrome wire has a resistance of $10\, \Omega$. Find the resistance of another nichrome wire, whose length is three times and area of cross-section four times the first wire.
Derive the relation $R=R_{1}+R_{2}+R_{3}$ when three resistors $R_{1}, R_{2}$ and $R_{3}$ are connected in series in an electric circuit.
Two conducting wires of same material, equal length and equal diameter are connected in series. How does the heat produced by the combination of resistance change ?
A potential difference $V$ is applied across a conductor of length $L$ and diameter $D .$ How is the resistance $R$ of the conductor affected, when in turn $(i)$ $V$ is halved $(ii)$ $L$ is halved and $(iii)$ $D$ is doubled ? Justify your answer in each case.
No current flows between two charged bodies when connected, if they have the same
