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 student was trying to construct the circuit shown in the figure below marked $(a)$, but ended up constructing the circuit marked $(b)$. Realising her mistake, she corrected the circuit, but to her surprise, the output voltage (across $R$ ) did not change. The value of resistance $R$ is ............ $\Omega$
In the following circuit composed of identical resistors, across which terminals would you connect a battery in order to dissipate energy in all resistors
In the circuit shown in figure, potential difference between points $A$ and $B$ is $16\, V$. The current passing through $2\,\Omega $ resistance will be ................. $\mathrm{A}$
For comparing the $e.m.f.$'s of two cells with a potentiometer, a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful
Figure shows a cross-section of a large-section of an infinite metal sheet carrying an electric current along its surface. The current per unit length is $J$ . A current carrying square loop is placed nearby the metal sheet such that the plane of square is perpendicular to the plane of sheet then
