9. As shown in the figure, the range of ammeter A is 0.6A, the dial is evenly divided into 30 small grids, each small
grid represents 0.02A; the resistance R1 is equal to the resistance of the ammeter, which is equal to 100 Ω . The
resistance of R2 is equal to 2 times the resistance of the ammeter.

10. Two identical thin homogeneous nichrome wires are mounted into the side non-conducting walls of vertical
communicating vessels (vessel cross-sectional area S = 100 cm2 and 3S). The length of the wires is equal to
the height of the vessels. An ideal battery with a voltage at the terminals U = 46.2 V is connected to the lower
ends of the wires. The vessels are filled upto a level 50 cm and covered with light and thin conductive pistons.
The pistons do not allow water to pass through, have contact with the wires and can move without friction
inside the vessels without leaving them, thanks to stoppers.
An ammeter is connected to the pistons using flexible wires (the length of the wires allows the pistons to move
freely). The installation diagram is shown in the figure. When a non-conducting weight weighing 1 kg is
placed on a small piston, the ammeter shows a current strength of ℓ 1 = 2.31 A. If 3 such weights are placed on
a large piston, the ammeter shows a current strength of ℓ 2 = 2.1 A.
We can assume that the connecting tube has a negligibly small cross-section. The conductivity of water is also
very low. Water density ρ = 1000 kg/m³.

(A) The resistance of the ammeter Ra is 1 ohm.

(B) The reading of ammeter when no weight is placed on the pistons is approx. 2.2 A.
(C) The maximum current through the ammeter is approx. 3.22 A.
(D) The minimum current through the ammeter is approx. 1.5 A.
