dtdV=cm1mV
For a potentiometer 1cm of wire has 1mV of voltage
So,
400cm has 0.4V.
Given R must be connected in series
ΔV=0.4=8+R2×8
8+R=0.416=4160=40
⇒R=32Ω

Two point charges +2μC and -2μC are placed 10 cm apart. The electric field at the midpoint is:
To an ac power supply of 220 V at 50 Hz , a resistor of $20 \Omega$, a capacitor of reactance $25 \Omega$ and an inductor of reactance $45 \Omega$ are connected is series. The corresponding current in the circuit and the phase angle between the current and the voltage is, respectively-
A model for quantized motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field $B$ states that the flux passing through the orbit of the electron is $n(h / e)$ where $n$ is an integer, $h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ is the magnitude of electron's charge. According to the model, the magnetic moment of an electron in its lowest energy state will be ( $m$ is the mass of the electron)
A wire of resistance R is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two sets are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is :
A 2 amp current is flowing through two different small circular copper coils having radii ratio $1: 2$. The ratio of their respective magnetic moments will be
