For the circuit shown, with R₁ = 1.0W, R₂ = 2.0 W, E₁ = 2 V and E₂ = E₃ = 4 V, the potential difference between the points 'a' and 'b' is approximately (in V):

Ship A is sailing towards north-east with velocity $$\mathop v\limits^ \to = 30\mathop i\limits^ \wedge + 50\mathop j\limits^ \wedge $$ km/hr where $$\mathop i\limits^ \wedge $$ points east and $$\mathop j\limits^ \wedge $$ , north. Ship B is at a distance of 80 km east and 150 km north of Ship A and is sailing towards west at 10 km/hr. A will be at minimum distance from B in :

A thin circular plate of mass M and radius R has its density varying as $$\rho $$(r) = $$\rho $$₀r with $$\rho $$₀ as constant and r is the distance from its centre. The moment of Inertia of the circular plate about an axis perpendicular to the plate and passing through its edge is I = aMR². The value of the coefficient a is :

A 20 Henry inductor coil is connected to a 10 ohm resistance in series as shown in figure. The time at which rate of dissipation of energy (joule's heat) across resistance is equal to the rate at which magnetic energy is stored in the inductor is :
