If two incandescent bulbs, \(50~\text W\) and \(100~\text W,\) are connected in series across the mains then (compared with their original brightness):
1. \(100~\text W\) – glows brighter, \(50~\text W\) – glows dimmer
2. \(100~\text W\) – glows dimmer, \(50~\text W\) – glows brighter
3. \(100~\text W,50~\text W\) – both glow brighter
4. \(100~\text W,50~\text W\) – both glow dimmer

A cell is connected between \(A\) and \(B\) and it is observed that \(V_{C}=V_{D}\) while the corresponding ammeter current is also noted. When the cell (between \(A\) and \(B\)) is disconnected, and ends \(B\) and \(C\) are connected: the current through an ammeter \(A\) is found to have the same magnitude (but in opposite direction). Then, the resistance \(R\) is:
1. equals \(400~\Omega.\)
2. equals \(200~\Omega.\)
3. can have any value less than \(400~\Omega.\)
4. cannot be determined from the given information.

Current density is the current crossing per unit area. Consider a cylindrical wire of uniform cross-section \(A,\) carrying a current \(I.\) Imagine a cross-section formed by a "\(30^\circ\)-cut" as shown (the wire is not really cut). The current density perpendicular to this cross-section is:
                   
 
1. \(\dfrac{I}{A}\) 2. \(\dfrac{I}{A}~\cos30^\circ\)
3. \(\dfrac{2I}{A}\) 4. \(\dfrac{I}{A}~\sin30^\circ\)

\(AB\) is a \(20~\Omega\) resistor with a tapping point \(C\) that can be moved along \(AB\). The resistances in \(AC,BC\) are proportional to the lengths \(AC,BC\). Initially, \(C\) is at the mid-point of \(AB\) and the circuit is switched on.
                           
If the tapping point \(C\) is moved so that the length \(BC\) is reduced to half its initial value, then the voltage across the \(15~\Omega\) resistor,
1. increases by \(1\) V
2. decreases by \(1\) V
3. increases by \(3\) V
4. decreases by \(3\) V
