How many microamperes $(\mu A)$ are equal to $1$ milliampere $(mA)$?

What is potential difference? Is it a scalar quantity or a vector quantity? Give its $SI$ units.

How are ammeters and voltmeters connected in a circuit? What do they help us measure?

$(a)$ What is meant by saying that the potential difference between two points is $1$ volt?
$(b)$ Why does the connecting cord of an electrical heater not glow while the heating element does?
$(c)$ Electrical resistivities of some substances at $20^{\circ}C$ are given below:

Silver	$1.60 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$
Copper	$1.62 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$
Tungsten	$5.2 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$
Iron	$10.0 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$
Mercury	$94.0 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$
