Answer:
Explanation:
Firstly, when you measure the voltage across the battery, you get the emf,
E = 13.0 V
In order to proceed we have to assume that the voltmeter offers no loading effect, which is a valid assumption since it has a very high resistance.
Secondly, the wires must be uniform. So the resistance per unit length is constant (say z). Now, even though the ammeter has very little resistance it cannot be ignored as it must be of comparable value/magnitude when compared to the wires. This is can seen in the two cases when currents were measured. Following Ohm's law and the resistance of a length of wire being proportional to it's length, we should have gotten half the current when measuring with the 40 m wire with respect to the 20 m wire (
). But this is not the case.
Let the resistance of the ammeter be r
Hence, using Ohm's law we get the following 2 equations:
.......(1)
......(2)
Substituting the value of r from (2) in (1), we have,
which simplifying gives us, 
(which is our required solution)
putting the value of z in either (1) or (2) gives us, r = 0.5325 
Answer:
True
Explanation:
In an alternating current, voltage levels can be easily increased or decreased as per the requirements of the energy distribution in practical world.
Hence, the given statement is true
A light wave that hits the surface of a pool gets refracted and gives us an apparent image of the surface of the pool, following the concepts of refraction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let’s recall the concept of refraction when a light wave passes from medium of rarer to denser. There is a change in the speed of light while travelling from medium of rarer to denser.
There can be a change in the direction as well. This property is known as “Refraction” and the best example to see refraction is watching the surface of a clean pond, lake or pool.
When the light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water), it changes its angle of direction and gets refracted and hit to our eye lenses. With this, we see the surface of the pool at a changed angle and it seems to be a bit shallow than its original depth.
