Finding potential difference between terminals

AI Thread Summary
To find the potential difference between the terminals of a circuit with six 5-ohm resistors connected to a 2V cell, it's essential to determine the configuration of the resistors, whether in series or parallel. The current can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that current equals voltage divided by resistance. If the resistors are in series, the total resistance would be the sum of all resistors, affecting the current and potential difference. Clarifying the resistor arrangement is crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding these principles will guide the solution to the problem.

Dear all,

can some one help me to solve this question

6 resisitors of resistance 5 ohm are connected to 2 v cell of negligible internal resistance, what will be the pottential difference between terminals, how to slove this

thanks

Current is equal to voltage over resistance, so how do you calculate voltage? do you know the current that's flowing?
 
manjula, you really should show an attempt at solving the problem before we can give you help.

Are the resistors connected in series (you didn't say in your post). If so, then as Bobbadillo said you'll need to find the current in the circuit.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
