According to Joule's law, if the potential difference across a conductor having a material of specific resistance remains constant, then the heat produced in the conductor is directly proportional to
A$\rho $
B${\rho ^2}$
C$\frac{1}{{\sqrt \rho }}$
D$\frac{1}{\rho }$

D$\frac{1}{\rho }$
d (d) $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$ but $R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{\rho l/A}} = \frac{{A{V^2}}}{{\rho l}}$. Since $\frac{{A{V^2}}}{l}$is constant as per given conditions So $P \propto \frac{1}{\rho }$.

Four wires of the same diameter are connected in turn between two points, maintained at a constant potential difference. Their resistivities are; $\rho $ and $L$ (wire $1$ )., $1.2\,\rho $ and $1.2\,L$ (wire $2$ ), $0.9\,\rho $ and $0.9\,L$ (wire $3$ ) and $\rho $ and $1.5\,L$ (wire $4$ ). Rank the wires according to the rates at which energy is dissipated as heat, greatest first
