A wire when connected to $220\,V$ mains supply has power dissipation ${P_1}$. Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is ${P_2}$. Then ${P_2}:{P_1}$ is

b When wire is cut into two equal parts then power dissipated by each part is $2{P_1}$
So their parallel combination will dissipate power ${P_2} = 2{P_1} + 2{P_1} = 4{P_1}$
Which gives $\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = 4$

$A$ wire of cross-section area $A$, length $L_1$, resistivity $\rho_1$ and temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha_1$ is connected to a second wire of length $L_2$, resistivity $\rho_2$ , temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha_1$ and the same area $A$, so that wire carries same current. Total resistance $R$ is independent of temperature for small temperature change if (Thermal expansion effect is negligible)
The ammeter $A$ reads $2\, A$ and the voltmeter $V$ reads $20\, V$. the value of resistance $R$ is (Assuming finite resistance's of ammeter and voltmeter)
$A$ current $I$ flows through a uniform wire of diameter $d$ when the mean electron drift velocity is $V$. The same current will flow through a wire of diameter $d/2$ made of the same material if the mean drift velocity of the electron is :
A primary cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $1.5\,volts$, when short-circuited it gives a current of $3$ amperes. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $ohm$
An electrical bulb rated $220\,V , 100\,W$, is connected in series with another bulb rated $220\,V$, $60\,W$.If the voltage across combination is $220\,V$, the power consumed by the $100\,W$ bulb will be about $........... W$
$10\, Cells$, each of $emf$ $'E'$ and internal resistance $'r'$, are connected in series to a variable external resistance. Figure shows the variation of terminal potential difference of their combination with the current drawn from the combination.$Emf$ of each cell is ................ $V$
The resistances in $WSB$ circuit shown in the diagram all are different and the current through the galvanometer is zero. If all thermal effects are negligible, the current through the galvanometer will not be zero, when
