Question

Two identical resistors with resistance R are connected in the two circuits drawn. The battery in both circuits is a 12 volt ideal battery. Which statement is correct?

  1. More current will flow through each R in circuit I than in circuit II    
  2. More total power will be delivered by the battery in circuit II than in circuit I    
  3. The potential drop across each R will be greater in circuit I than in circuit II.    
  4. The power dissipated in each R will be greater in circuit I than in circuit II.    

The correct answer is: More total power will be delivered by the battery in circuit II than in circuit I

A hollow conducting sphere of inner radius R and outer radius 2R has resistivity 'rho' a function of the distance 'r' from the centre of the sphere: rho equals k r to the power of 2 end exponent divided by R. The inner and outer surfaces are painted with a perfectly conducting 'paint' and a potential difference capital delta V is applied between the two surfaces. Then, as 'r' increases from R to 2R, the electric field inside the sphere
