$A$ constant voltage is applied between the two ends of a uniform metallic wire. Some heat is developed in it. The heat developed is doubled if
A
both the length and the radius of the wire are halved.
B
both the length and the radius of the wire are doubled
C
the radius of the wire is doubled
D
the length of the wire is doubled

B
both the length and the radius of the wire are doubled
b Heat developed is
$H=\frac{V^{2}}{R} t$
Heat developed will be doubled when $R$ is halved. Further,
$R=\rho l /\left(\pi r^{2}\right)$ and $H=V^{2} \pi r^{2} t / \rho l .$ So heat produced when both the length and radius of the wire are doubled.

A $1\,m$ long wire is broken into two unequal parts $X$ and $Y$ The $X$ part of the wire is streched into another wire $W$. Length of $W$ is twice the length of $X$ and the resistance of $W$ is twice that of $Y$. Find the ratio of length of $X$ and $Y$.
Two cells of emf $E_1$ and $E_2\left(E_1 > E_2\right)$ are connected individually to a potentiometer and their corresponding balancing length are $625 \,cm$ and $500 \,cm$, then the ratio $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ is ...........

The thermo $e.m.f.$ of a thermo-couple is $25\,\mu V{/^o}C$ at room temperature. A galvanometer of $40\, ohm$ resistance, capable of detecting current as low as ${10^{ - 5}}\,A,$ is connected with the thermocouple. The smallest temperature difference that can be detected by this system is ................ $^oC$
In India electricity is supplied for domestic use at $220 \,V$. It is supplied at $110 \,V$ in USA. If the resistance of a $60 \,W$ bulb for use in India is $R$, the resistance of a $60 \,W$ bulb for use in USA will be
A steady current $I$ flows through a wire of radius $r$, length $L$ and resistivity $\rho$. The current produces heat in the wire. The rate of heat loss in a wire is proportional to its surface area. The steady temperature of the wire is independent of
