A.
0.1%
B.
10%
C.
25%
D.

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
From the given setup
$y \times {R_G} = (x - y)({R_S})$
$ \Rightarrow y \times 72 = (x - y) \times 8$
$ \Rightarrow 9y = x - y$

A teacher in his physics laboratory allotted an experiment to determine the resistance (G) of a galvanometer. Students took the observations for ${1 \over 3}$ deflection in the galvanometer. Which of the below is true for measuring value of G?
A.
${1 \over 3}$ deflection method cannot be used for determining the resistance of the galvanometer.
B.
${1 \over 3}$ deflection method can be used and in this case the G equals to twice the value of shunt resistances.
C.
${1 \over 3}$ deflection method can be used and in this case, the G equals to three times the value of shunt resistances.
D.
${1 \over 3}$ deflection method can be used and in this case the G value equals to the shunt resistances.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The circuit for the given situation is:
Since G and S are in parallel,
$\Rightarrow$ ${i \over 3}$ $\times$ G = ${2i \over 3}$ $\times$ S
$\Rightarrow$ G = 2S
$\Rightarrow$ G equals twice the value of shunt resistance.

Current of 0.5A is passed through 4 k$\Omega$ resistance. Assuming that all the heat produced is used for melting, what is the minimum time required? (Given latent heat of fusion for water/ice = 3.33 $\times$ 105 J kg$-$1, specific heat of ice = 2 $\times$ 103 J kg$-$1 and density of ice = 103 kg/m3
A.
0.353 s
B.
35.3 s
C.
3.53 s
D.
70.6 s
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Given, the length of the water pipe, L = 1 m
The cross-sectional area of the water pipe, A = 1 cm2 = 10$-$4 m2
The temperature of the ice = $-$ 10$^\circ$C
Current passing in the conductor, I = 0.5 A
Resistance of the conductor, R = 4 k$\Omega$
The latent heat of fusion for ice, Lf = 3.33 $\times$ 105 J/kg
The density of the ice, d = 1000 kg/m3
The specific heat of the ice, cp, ice = 2 $\times$ 103 J/kg
Heat required to melt the ice at 10$^\circ$C to 0$^\circ$C
Thus, the minimum time required to melt the ice is 35.3 s.
