As volume is constant,
So resistance $\propto$ (length $)^2$
$\Rightarrow \% \text { change in resistance }=20+20+\frac{400}{100}=44 \%$

By error, a student places moving-coil voltmeter $V$ (nearly ideal) in series with the resistance in a circuit in order to read the current, as shown. The voltmeter reading will be ............ $V$
In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length $240\,cm$ . On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2\,\Omega $ , the balancing length becomes $120\, cm$ . The internal resistance of the cell is ................... $\Omega$
The resistance of a wire is $5\,ohm$ at $50\,^o C$ and $6\,ohm $ at $100\,^o C$. The resistance of the wire at $0\,^o C$ will be .............. $\Omega$
A battery of internal resistance one ohm and $emf$ $3\,volt$ sends a current through $1\,metre$ of uniform wire of resistance $5\,\Omega $. The pole of the cell of $emf$ $1.4\,volt$ are connected to two points on the wire so that no current passes through this cell. Then, the potential gradient of the wire is
Four identical electrical lamps are labelled $1.5\,V$, $0.5\,A$ which describes the condition necessary for them to operate at normal brightness. A $12\,V$ battery of negligible internal resistance is connected to lamps as shown, then
