electrons.
OR
A number of identical cells, n, each of emf E, internal resistance r connected in series are charged
by a d.c. source of emf E’, using a resistor R.
(i) Draw the circuit arrangement.
(ii) Deduce the expressions for (a) the charging current and (b) the potential difference across the
combination of the cells.
24. Define resistivity of a conductor. Plot a graph showing the variation of resistivity with temperature
for a metallic conductor. How does one explain such a behaviour, using the mathematical expression of the
resistivity of a material.

Draw an equipotential surface for a system, consisting of two charges Q, - Q separated by a distance ‘ r’ in
air. [1]

Obtain the expression for the potential energy of an electric dipole of dipole moment 𝑝⃗ placed in an

Derive an expression for the torque acting on an electric dipole, which is held in a uniform electric
field, when the axis of the dipole makes an angle q with the electric field. [2]

(i) Can two equi-potential surfaces intersect each other? Give reasons.
(ii) Two charges -q and + q are located at points A(0, 0, - a) and B(0, 0, + a) respectively. How much work is
