Two conductors have the same resistance at $${0^ \circ }C$$ but their temperature coefficients of resistance are $${\alpha _1}$$ and $${\alpha _2}.$$ The respective temperature coefficients of their series and parallel combinations are nearly

Let $$C$$ be the capacitance of a capacitor discharging through a resistor $$R.$$ Suppose $${t_1}$$ is the time taken for the energy stored in the capacitor to reduce to half its initial value and $${t_2}$$ is the time taken for the charge to reduce to one-fourth its initial value. Then the ratio $${t_1}/{t_2}$$ will be

A thin semi-circular ring of radius $$r$$ has a positive charges $$q$$ distributed uniformly over it. The net field $$\overrightarrow E $$ at the center $$O$$ is

Let there be a spherically symmetric charge distribution with charge density varying as $$\rho \left( r \right) = {\rho _0}\left( {{5 \over 4} - {r \over R}} \right)$$ upto $$r=R,$$ and $$\rho \left( r \right) = 0$$ for $$r>R,$$ where $$r$$ is the distance from the erigin. The electric field at a distance $$r\left( {r < R} \right)$$ from the origin is given by
