    In the given circuit, an ideal voltmeter connected across the $10 \Omega$ resistance reads 2 V . The internal resistance r (in $\Omega$ ), of each cell is :

     

    A cell of emf $
    90 \mathrm{~V}
    $ is connected across series combination of two resistors each of $
    100 \Omega
    $ resistance. A voltmeter of resistance $
    400 \Omega
    $ is used to measure the potential difference across each resistor. The reading of the voltmeter will be:

    Given below are two statements :
    Statement I: The equivalent resistance of resistors in a series combination is smaller than the least resistance used in the combination.
    Statement II: The resistivity of the material is independent of temperature.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

    An infinite sequence of resistance is shown in the figure. The resultant resistance between A and B will be, when  R1=1 $ \Omega$ and  R2 = 2 $ \Omega$       

                       

    In the circuit given, find the currents ${I }, I_1$ and $I_2$ in the circuit.

    Two unequal resistors are connected in series across a battery. Then the 

    A potential divider circuit is shown in figure. The output voltage V0 is :
