Two cables of copper are of equal lengths. One of them has a single wire of area of cross-section $A$, while the other has $10$ wires of cross-sectional area $A / 10$ each. Determine their suitability for transporting $A.C.$ and $D.C.$

  • A
    Only single strand for $A.C.$, either for $D.C.$
  • B
    Only single strand for $D.C.$, either for $A.C.$
  • C
    Only multiple strands for $A.C.$, only single strand for $D.C.$
  • D
    Only multiple strands for $A.C.$, either for $D.C.$

The net current flowing in the given circuit is . . . . . . $\text{A}$.

Two electric bulbs marked $40\,W, 220\,V$ and $60\,W, 220\,V$ are connected in series across a $220\,V$ supply,resulting in an effective power $P_1$. When they are connected in parallel across the same $220\,V$ supply,the effective power is $P_2$. The ratio $\frac{P_1}{P_2}$ is:

Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness $t$ and resistivity $\rho$. Its inner radius is $R_1$ and outer radius is $R_2$. If a voltage $V_0$ is applied between its two ends,a current $I$ flows in it. In addition,it is observed that a transverse voltage $\Delta V$ develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)-
$(A)$ $I = \frac{V_0 t}{\pi \rho} \ln \left(\frac{R_2}{R_1}\right)$
$(B)$ the outer surface is at a higher voltage than the inner surface
$(C)$ the outer surface is at a lower voltage than the inner surface
$(D)$ $\Delta V \propto I^2$
