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.

Five identical cells each of internal resistance $1\, \Omega$ and $emf \;5\, {V}$ are connected in series and in parallel with an external resistance $'R'.$ For what value of $'R',$ current in series and parallel combination will remain the same ? (in $\Omega$)
In a meter bridge, the wire of length $1\, m$ has a nonuniform cross-section such that, the variation $\frac{{dR}}{{d\ell }}$ of its resistance $R$ with length $\ell $ is $\frac{{dR}}{{d\ell }} \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt \ell }}$ Two equal resistances are connected as shown in the figure. The galvanometer has zero deflection when the jockey is at point $P$. What is the length $AP$ ? ................ $m$
Two batteries with e.m.f $12\ V$ and $13\ V$ are connected in parallel across a load resistor of $10\,\Omega$ . The internal resistances of the two batteries are $1\,\Omega$ and $2\,\Omega$ respectively. The voltage across the load lies between
$100$ cells each of $e.m.f.$ $5\, V$ and internal resistance $1\, ohm$ are to be arranged so as to produce maximum current in a $25\, ohms$ resistance. Each row is to contain equal number of cells. The number of rows should be
Two wires of the same material are given. The first wire is twice as long as the second and has twice the diameter of the second. The resistance of the first will be
