Solve the problems listed below by showing all the steps clearly. Simply giving the final answer without showing
your solution will NOT merit full points.
1. A Coil consists of 2500 turns of copper wire having a cross- sectional area of 1 mm2. The mean length per
turn is 64 cm and resistivity of copper is 0.02 µΩm at normal working temperature. Calculate the resistance
of the coil.
2. A Battery has an emf of 24 volts and supplies a current of 2.83A. What is the resistance of the circuit? How
many Coulombs leave the battery in 5 minutes?
3. What is the value of the unknown resistor R shown in figure below? If the voltage drop across the 500Ω
resistor is 4.0 V. The entire resistors are in ohms.

Note: Copying from others and using others’ work as own is considered to be cheating and cheating is
forbidden by the law of the academic principles and regulation of the institute. This will lead to canceling
the results of the assignments.
