A uniform heating wire of resistance $36\, \Omega$ is connected across a potential difference of $240\, {V}$ The wire is then cut into half and potential difference of $240\, {V}$ is applied across each half separately. The ratio of power dissipation in first case to the total power dissipation in the second case would be $1: {x}$, where ${x}$ is........... .

A$4$
a First case ${P}_{1}=\frac{{V}^{2}}{{R}}=\frac{(240)^{2}}{36}$
Second case Resistance of each half $=18 \,\Omega$

In the adjoining circuit, the battery $E_1$ has an emf of $12\, volt$ and zero internal resistance while the battery $E_2$ has an $emf$ of $2\, volt$. If the galvanometer $G$ reads zero, then the value of the resistance $X$ (in $ohm$ ) is
