The current in a simple series circuit is $5.0 \, A$. When an additional resistance of $2.0 \, \Omega$ is inserted, the current drops to $4.0 \, A$. The original resistance of the circuit in $\Omega$ was:

The equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ is ............ $\Omega$.

In the following circuit diagram,$E = 4\,V, r = 1\,\Omega$ and $R = 45\, \Omega$,then the reading of the ammeter $A$ will be

$P$ and $Q$ are two identical wires of resistance $2000\, \Omega$ each, and $M$ is the midpoint of $PQ$. A voltmeter of resistance $1000\, \Omega$ is connected between $P$ and $M$. When a potential difference of $150\, V$ is applied across $PQ$, the reading of the voltmeter will be ............. $V$.
