DBoth $(a)$ and $(b)$
d (d) ${R_{steel}} = 2{R_{Al}}$. In series $H \propto R$ ($i$ is Same)
So, $H$ will be more in steel wire . In parallel $H \propto \frac{1}{R}$ ($V$ is Same), so $H$ will be more in aluminium wire.

A battery is connected to a uniform resistance wire $AB$ and $B$ is earthed. Which one of the graphs below shows how the current density $J$ varies along $AB$
The resistors of resistances $2$ $\Omega$, $4$ $\Omega$ and $8$ $\Omega$ are connected in parallel, then the equivalent resistance of the combination will be
The resistance of a wire is $R$. It is bent at the middle by $180^o$ and both the ends are twisted together to make a shorter wire. The resistance of the new wire is
$ABCD$ is a square where each side is a uniform wire of resistance $1\,\Omega$ . $A$ point $E$ lies on $CD$ such that if a uniform wire of resistance $1\,\Omega$ is connected across $AE$ and constant potential difference is applied across $A$ and $C$ then $B$ and $E$ are equipotential.
A copper wire of resistance $R$ is cut into ten parts of equal length. Two pieces each are joined in series and then five such combinations are joined in parallel. The new combination will have a resistance
In a Wheatstone bridge (see figure) Resistance $P$ and $Q$ are approximately equal. When $R = 400\,\Omega ,$ the bridge is balanced. On interchanging $P$ and $Q,$ the value of $R,$ for balance is $405\,\Omega .$ The value of $X$ is close to ................. $ohm$
