THIS ONE ALSO PLZ ......
In the circuit shown, let the current be I1
I1=V/R=6/2R
Power dissipated in external resistor (P1)=I1*I1*resistance of external resisitor=(6/2R)*(6/2R)*R= 36R/(4R*R)=9/R
in the circuit with negligible internal resistance, let the current be I2
I2=V/R=6/R
so power dissipated in xternal circuit(P2)=I2*I2*Resistance of external resistor=(6/R)*(6/R)*R=36R/(R*R)=36/R
SO P2=4P1

When the negatively charged plate is brought close to the initially neutral plate, the electrons in the bottom plate are repelled away and move into the earth, since a wire is connected so the electrons are able to flow away. This makes the bottom plate become overall positively charged, since there are more protons than electrons.
:confused:
but isnt it that anything earthed becomes neutral? :eek: :unsure:
do u mean if the bottom plate was not earthed, it wud not get a +ve charge?

If the bottom plate was not earthed, there will be positive charge in upper part of this plate and negative charge in bottom half, because the elections are repelled and so move down. They are not able to escape anywhere. So top part would be positive and bottom part would be negative, within the bottom plate itself.

By earthing it we allow electrons to move away so the plate is positively charged everywhere as a whole

can anyone answer plzzzz?????
basically here the voltmeter acts as a resistor. So consider it as a resistor
so when its resistance is 1K ohms , the voltage divides in 1:1 ratio
but when its resistance increases to 1000000 ohms, which is huge compared to 1000 ohms, therefore almost all the voltage goes to the voltmeter .. as in a series circuit current is constant and v is proportional to r :)

Since it is a parallel circuit, the pd across the (variable r. and a resistor in series with it) and the other single resistor(rightmost) is the same (i.e the same value as the emf of the battery). Resistance of the rightmost resistor is also unchanged. Hence V/R=I is unchanged.

When the resistance of vr is increased, pd across it will increase and reading on the voltmeter will therefore decrease.

I thought X and Y is actually the plastic region??
as shown here:

But then the answer is D :/ ???

but doesn't I depend on the ratio of resistances? for example if the emf is 10
variable resistor & the resistor with voltmeter have a combined resistance of 50 while the resistor on the right 20
in that case I will be = 10/ 14= O.71
but if now the variable resistor's resistance has increased so that the combined resistance now is 70
now I= 10/ (70*20/20+70) ,I= 0.6 :/
