Questions  

A battery of 6 volts is connected to the terminals of a three metre long wire of uniform thickness and resistance of the order of 100  Ω The difference of potential between two points separated by 50 cm on the wire will be

a
1 V
b
1.5 V
c
2 V
d
3 V

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Here same current is passing throughout the length of the wire, hence V ∝  R  ∝  l⇒   V1V2 =  l1l2  ⇒   6V2=  30050  ⇒ V2=1 V
