A wire of resistance R is cut into three equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Raman effect discovered in 1928, Nobel in 1930.

Explanation:
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD. 20 VSD = 19 MSD ⇒ 1 VSD = 19/20 mm = 0.95 mm. LC = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 mm. Formula: LC = MSD/n where n = vernier divisions. Memory tip: LC = smallest measurable difference = main scale value/vernier divisions. Essential for practical physics questions in competitive exams.

Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.
