Answer:

The ratio of the potential difference across a metallic conductor to the current in the conductor is known as.

B. Resistance.

Explanation:

According to ohms law " the current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between the ends provided the temperature of the wire remains constant".

What is resistance ?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit

what is a resistor ?

a resistor is a n electric conductor which forms resistance to free flow of electric current, the resistance is measured in Ω

Light from a laser of wavelength λ1 shines normally on a pair of narrow slits separated by distance D. This results in a differe

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular position of first intensity maxima is given by the expression

= λ / d where λ is wave length of light and d is slit separation

putting the values given in the problem. ,

.02 = λ₁ / D

Now wavelength has been increased to 2λ₁

angular separation of first maxima

= 2λ₁ /D

= 2 x .02

= .04 radians.

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left

Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux. It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.
