DIRECTIONS : Question No. 22 and 23 are based on the following paragraph.
Consider a block of conducting material of resistivity 'ρ ' shown in the figure. Current 'I' enters at 'A' and leaves from 'D'. We apply superposition principle to find voltage ′ Δ V ' developed between ' B ' and ' C '. The calculation is done in the following steps:
(i) Take current 'I' entering from 'A' and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block.
(ii) Calculate fieldE ( r ) at distance ' ′ r ' from A by using O h m 's law E = ρ j , where j is the current per unit area at 'r'
(iii) From the 'r'dependence ofE ( r ) , obtain the potential V ( r ) at r .
(iv) Repeat (i), (ii) and (iii) for current 'I' leaving 'D' and superpose results for 'A' and 'D'
