sound in the TV and got frightened. She immediately called Sagar who instructed Geeta to switch off
the TV. Then Sagar contacted the Airtel Digital TV customer care and instructed them something.
That night after returning from the office Sagar told Geeta that he has fixed the TV but it will again
become malfunctioning if she watches TV more than two hour a day. Next morning Geeta started
watching TV as usually for the whole day, without caring for what Sagar has instructed .She thought
that Sagar will not come to know about it. She continued like that for two more days and in the third
morning she found that only but the News channel no other channel is available in the TV.She called

out one of the drawbacks of a cyclotron.
29. (a) When terminals of cells are connected by a wire of resistance 4 ohm, the p.d. of the cell is
1.6 V. If a second wire of same resistance is connected in the parallel with the first, the p.d.
becomes 1.33V. What will be the p.d. when a third wire of same resistance is connected in
parallel with the other two? Also find the emf and internal resistance of the cell.

ratio 1:2.They are connected in (i) series (ii)

parallel across a potential difference V. Compare the
