In the circuit shown in the figure, find the total resistance of the circuit and the current in the arm AD.

उत्तर
Since the capacitor will act as an open circuit here, the arm CE and EF will become ineffective. The circuit is now reduced to as below

Effective resistance across AD = (BC + CD) ∥ AD
= \[\left( 3 + 3 \right) \lVert 3 = 2 \Omega\]
Total resistance of the circuit = AD + DF = 2 + 3 = 5 Ω
Total current in the circuit = \[\frac{15}{5} = 3 A\]
The current through AD and BCD will divide in the inverse ratio of the resistance.
∴ Current through AD = \[3 \times \frac{6}{\left( 6 + 3 \right)} = 3 \times \frac{6}{9} = 2 A\]

The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.

Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use (> or < or =) to compare:
- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
