B$0.25\,R$
b $R \propto \frac{1}{A} \Rightarrow R \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}} \propto \frac{1}{{{d^2}}}$
[$d$ $=$ diameter of wire]

The voltage $V$ and current $I$ graph for a conductor at two different temperatures ${T_1}$ and ${T_2}$ are shown in the figure. The relation between ${T_1}$ and ${T_2}$ is
A potentiometer consists of two wires $AC$ and $CB$ of same material and of equal lengths but diameters in the ratio $3 : 1.$ Then the potential gradients on the two wires will be in the ratio :-
A cable of resistance $10\,\Omega $ carries electric power from a generator producing $250\, kW$ at $10000\, volt$. The current in the cable is ............. $A$
A $9\, V$ battery with internal resistance of $0.5\,\Omega $ is connected across an infinite network as shown in the figure. All ammeters $A_1 , A_2, A_3$ and voltmeter $V$ are ideal. Choose correct statement
A current of $2.0$ ampere passes through a cell of $e.m.f$. $1.5\, volts$ having internal resistance of $0.15\, ohm$. The potential difference measured, in $volts$, across both the ends of the cell will be
To get maximum current through a resistance of $2.5\,\Omega $, one can use $m$ rows of cells, each row having $n$ cells. The internal resistance of each cell is $0.5\,\Omega $. What are the values of $n$ and $m$ if the total number of cells is $45$ ?
The four arms of a Wheatstone bridge have resistances as shown in the figure. A galvanometer of $15\, \Omega$ resistance is connected across $BD$. Calculate the current through the galvanometer when a potential difference of $10\, V$ is maintained across $AC.$
As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ is carrying a constant current $i$ through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force $F$. Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain $\varepsilon$ when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.
