Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 284

Question: A 10 m long wire of 20W resistance is connected with a battery of 3 volt e.m.f. (negligible internal resistance) and a 10 W resistance is joined to it is series. Potential gradient along wire in volt per meter is

[MP PMT 2003]

Options:

A) 0.02

B) 0.3

C) 0.2

D) 1.3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Potential gradient $ x=\frac{e}{(R+R _{h}+r)}.\frac{R}{L} $

$ =\frac{3}{(20+10+0)}\times \frac{20}{10}=0.2 $
