Two wires '$A$' and '$B$' of the same material have their lengths in the ratio $1 : 2$ and radii in the ratio $2 : 1$. The two wires are connected in parallel across a battery. The ratio of the heat produced in '$A$' to the heat produced in '$B$' for the same time is

$A$ battery is charged by a $15\,V$ battery for $8\,h$ at a current of $10\,A$. When this battery discharges, it provides a current of $5\,A$ for $15\,h$. The average terminal voltage during discharge is $14\,V$. What is the $watt-hour$ efficiency of this battery in $\%$?

$A$ wire of resistance $10\, \Omega$ is bent into a circle. $P$ and $Q$ are two points on the circumference of the circle that divide the circle into a quadrant. When these two points are connected to a battery of $3\, V$ and internal resistance $1\, \Omega$, the currents passing through the two parts of the circle are:

The two ends of a conductor are connected to a cell having an $e.m.f. \ E$ and some internal resistance. Starting from the midpoint $P$ of the conductor,moving in the direction of the current,and returning to point $P$,which of the following graphs best represents the potential $V$ versus the distance $x$ covered along the path?

In steady state, a capacitor of capacitance $2 \mu F$ is charged to $4 \mu C$, as shown in the figure. If the internal resistance of the cell is $0.5 \Omega$, then the emf of the cell is (in $\text{V}$)
