2. inversely proportional to their marked voltage.
3. proportional to the square of their marked voltage.
4. the same for all of them.

Three identical resistors are connected across a voltage source V so that one of them is in parallel with two others which are connected in series as shown. The power dissipated through the first one, compared to the power dissipated by each of the other two, is approximately:
1. the same
2. half as much
3. twice as much
4. four times as much
A metallic resistor is connected across a battery. If the number of collisions of free electrons with the lattice is somehow decreased in the resistor (for example cooling it), the current will:
1. Increase
2. Decrease
3. remain the same
4. become zero
A constant voltage is applied between the two ends of a uniform metallic wire. Some heat is developed in it. The heat developed doubles if:
1. | both the length and the radius of the wire are halved. |
2. | both the length and the radius of the wire are doubled. |
3. | the radius of the wire is doubled. |
4. | The length of the wire is doubled. |
In an electrical circuit containing a battery, the charge (assume positive) inside the battery:

2. may go from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
3. always goes from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
4. does not move.
