The current flowing through a wire depends on time as The charge flowing through the cross section of the wire in time from to is
A conducting wire of length , area of cross-section and electric resistivity is connected between the terminals of a battery. A potential difference is developed between its ends, causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be___
A cell of negligible internal resistance is connected in parallel across a battery of emf and internal resistance as shown in the figure. Find the value of current in the circuit.

In an atom electron revolve around the nucleus along a path of radius making revolutions per second. The equivalent current is [Given ]
Remove all the anions , except the central one.
Replace all the face centered cations , by anions .
Remove all the corner cations .

Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness and resistivity . Its inner radius is and outer radius is . If a voltage is applied between its two ends, a current flows in it. In addition, it is observed that a transverse voltage develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)
