A battery of 3.0 V is connected to a resistor dissipating 0.5 W of power. If the terminal voltage of the battery is 2.5 V, the power dissipated within the internal resistance is :

Two resistors 400$$\Omega $$ and 800$$\Omega $$ are connected in series across a 6 V battery. The potential difference measured by a voltmeter of 10 k$$\Omega $$ across 400 $$\Omega $$ resistor is close to :

Model a torch battery of length $$l$$ to be made up of a thin cylindrical bar of radius ‘a’ and a concentric thin cylindrical shell of radius ‘b’ filled in between with an electrolyte of resistivity $$\rho $$ (see figure). If the battery is connected to a resistance of value R, the maximum Joule heating in R will take place for :

A potentiometer wire PQ of 1 m length is connected to a standard cell E₁. Another cell E₂ of emf 1.02 V is connected with a resistance ‘r’ and switch S (as shown in figure). With switch S open, the null position is obtained at a distance of 49 cm from Q. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is :
