Assertion: A larger dry cell has higher emf.

Reason: The emf of a dry cell is proportional to its size.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ made of same material and having their lengths in the ratio $6: 1$ are connected in series. The potential difference across the wires are $3 \mathrm{~V}$ and $2 \mathrm{~V}$ respectively. If $r_A$ and $r_B$ are the radii of $A$ and $B$ respectively, then $\frac{r_B}{r_A}$ is

In a thermocouple, which of the following statements is not true

In household electric circuit

I. all electric appliances drawing power are joined in parallel

II. a switch may be either in series or in parallel with the appliance which it controls III. if a switch is in parallel with an appliance, it will draw power when the switch is in the 'off' position (open)

IV. if a switch is in parallel with an appliance, the fuse will blow (burn out) when the switch is put 'on' closed.

Which of the above statements are correct?

A constant voltage is applied between two ends of a metallic wire. If the wire is replaced by another wire of same material, half the length and doubled the radius, the rate of heat developed in the wire will be:

To draw maximum current from a combination of cells, how should the cells be grouped?

As the temperature rises the resistance offered by metal

In water voltmeter, the electrolysis of …… takes place

Two discharge tubes have identical material structure and the same gas is filled in them. The length of one tube is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and that of the other tube is $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Sparking starts in both the tubes when the potential difference between the cathode and the anode is $100 \mathrm{~V}$. If the pressure in the shorter tube is $1.0 \mathrm{~mm}$ of mercury, what is the pressure in the longer tube?

Faraday’s ${\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{nd}}}$ law states that mass deposited on the electrode is directly proportional to

For driving a current of 3 Afor 5 minutes in an electric circuit, $900 \mathrm{~J}$ of work is to be done. Find the emf of the source in the circuit.

Assertion: A voltmeter must be connected in parallel in a circuit and it should have a high resistance.
Reason: The voltmeter in the circuit must not affect the potential difference measured by it.

The ratio of resistance of two copper wires of the same length and of same cross-sectional area when connected in series to that when connected in parallel is

Two wires of same material have length $L$ and $2\,L$ and cross-sectional areas $4\,\,A$ and $A$ respectively. The ratio of their specific resistances would be

For a metallic wire, the ratio $\frac{V}{i}(V =$ applied potential difference and $i$ =current flowing ) is

Two wires have resistances $R\,\,\mathrm{and}\,\,2R$. When both are joining in series and in parallel, then ratio of heats generated in these situations on applying the same voltage, is

Assertion: As a direct current passes through a thick metallic conductor, it produces magnetic field only outside the rod.
Reason: Current passes only along the surface of the conductor and not through the interior.
