Which of two switches `S_(1) and S_(2)` shown in Fig. `7.31` will produce short - circuiting?

A

`S_(1)`

B

`S_(2)`

C

Both `S_(1) and S_(2)`

D

Neither `S_(1) nor S_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When switch `S_(2)` is closed , the whole of current shall flow through the connecting wire only, which is supposed to have zero resistance.

Gourang made an electric circuit with three bulbs B_(1), B_(2) and B_(3) a cell and two switches S_(1) and S_(2) as shown in figure. He notes his observation when (a) S_(1) is closed and S_(2) is open, (b) S_(2) is closed and S_(1) is open. He also found that a bulb whose failure made the circuit 'open' irrespective of the status of S_(1) and S_(2) . What are his observation.

In the circuit shown in Fig. 7.45,

In the circuit shown, when switch S_(1) is closed and S_(2) is open, the ideal voltmeter shows a reaiding of 18 V . When switch S_(2) is closed and S_(1) is open, the reading of voltmeter is 24 V . When S_(1) and S_(2) both are closed, the voltmeter reading will be

An electrical system has open-closed switches S_1, S_2a n dS_3 as shown in fig. The switches operate independently of one another and the current will flow from AtoB either if S_1 is closed or if both S_2a n dS_3 are closed. If P(S_1)=P(S_2)=P(S_3)=1//2, then find the probability that the circuit will work. fig

The capacitor of capacitance C can be charged (with the help of a resistance R ) by a voltage source V, by closing switch S_(1) while keeping switch S_(2) open. The capacitor can be connected in series with an inductor 'L' by closing switch S_(2) and opening S_(1) . Initially, the capacitor was uncharged. Now , switch S_(1) is closed and S_(2) is kept open. if time constant of this circuit is tau , then

A capacitor C is connected to a battery circuit having two switches S_(1) and S_(2) and resistances R_(1) and R_(2) . The capacitor will be fully charged when .

In the circuit shown in the figure, if switches S_(1) and S_(2) have been closed for a long time, then charge on the capacitor.

In the circuit shown switches S_(1) and S_(2) have been closed for 1 sec and S_(2) remained open.Just after 1 second is over switch S_(2) is closed and S_(1),S_(3) are opened.Find after that instant The charge on the upper plate of the capacitor as function of time taking the instant of switching on of S_(2) and switching off all time switches to be t=0 is q=x xx10^(-2)cos (t+pi/4) .Findout value of x .
