To solve the problem, we will use Ohm's Law, which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the conductor. The relationship is given by the formula: \[ V = I \times R \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions:** - Let the initial potential difference (voltage) be \( V \). ...

The resistance of a metal is given by R = V//I , where V is potential difference and I is current . In a circuit , the potential difference across resistance is V = ( 8 +- 0.5) V and current in resistance , I = ( 4 +- 0.2)A . What is the value of resistance with its percentage error?

Assertion: An inductance and a resistance are connected in series with an AC circuit. In this circuit the current and the potential difference across the resistance lag behind potential difference across the inductance by an angle pi//2 . Reason: In LR circuit voltage leads the current by phase angle which depends on the value of inductance and resistance both.
