You are given a resistance wire of length $50\, cm$ and a battery of negligible resistance. In which of the following cases is largest amount of heat generated
A
When the wire is connected to the battery directly
B
When the wire is divided into two parts and both the parts connected to the battery in parallel
C
When the wire is divided into four parts and all the four connected to the battery in parallel
D
When only half the wire is connected to the battery

C
When the wire is divided into four parts and all the four connected to the battery in parallel
c (c)In this case, $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$or $P \propto \frac{1}{R}$and$R\,$ will be minimum, when divided four parts are joints in parallel to the battery.

$12$ cells each having the same emf are connected in series and are kept in a closed box. Some of the cells are wrongly connected. This battery is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells identical with each other and also identical with the previous cells. The current is $3\, A$ when the external cells aid this battery and is $2\,A$ when the cells oppose the battery. How many cells in the battery are wrongly connected :-
In the following circuit, $5$ $\Omega$ resistor develops $45$ $J/s$ due to current flowing through it. The power developed per second across $12$ $\Omega$ resistor is ............. $W$
Two resistances equal at $0\,^oC$ with temperature coefficient of resistance $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
A parallel combination of two resistors, of $1 \,\Omega$ each, is connected in series with a $1.5 \,\Omega$ resistor. The total combination is connected across a $10\, V$ battery. The current flowing in the circuit is .............. $A$
A wire of resistance $R$ and radius $r$ is stretched till its radius became $r / 2$. If new resistance of the stretched wire is $x R$, then value of $x$ is $\qquad$
