Ler R is the resistance of the conductor. In the first case, current in a conductor, I = V/R.
In second case current in conductor,
\(I^{\prime}=\frac{2 V+V}{R}=\frac{3 V}{R}=3 I\)
\(As I=n Aev _d or v_d \propto I(\because n, A , are constant)
\)

It means drift velocity becomes tripled.

(i) Material X is paramagnetic substance. When a specimen of a paramagnetic substance is placed in a magnetising field, the lines of force prefer to pass through the specimen rather than through air. Thus, magnetic induction

Applying the condition of balanced Wheatstone bridge,
\(\frac { R }{ S } =\frac { l }{ 100-l } =\frac { 40 }{ 100-40 }\)
\( =\frac { 40 }{ 60 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\)
\(\frac { R }{ S } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } .........(i)\)
The equivalent resistance of 12\(\Omega \) and S\(\Omega \) in parallel is \(\frac { 12S }{ 12+S } \Omega \)
Again applying the condition \(\frac { R }{ \left( \frac { 12S }{ 12+S } \right) } =\frac { 50 }{ 50 } =1\)
\(\Rightarrow R=\frac { 12S }{ 12+S } \quad ........(iii)\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } S=\frac { 12S }{ 12+S } \)
\(12+S=18 \ or \ S=6\Omega \)
\(R=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } S=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \times 6=4\Omega\)

\(\therefore \ M=\frac { 3.1\times { 10 }^{ -5 }\left( 6.4\times { 10 }^{ 6 } \right) ^{ 3 } }{ { 10 }^{ -7 } } \)
= 8.1 x 1022 Am2
