Following figure shows cross-sections through three long conductors of the same length and material, with square cross-section of edge lengths as shown. Conductor $B$ will fit snugly within conductor $A$, and conductor $C$ will fit snugly within conductor $B$. Relationship between their end to end resistance is
A$R_A = R_B = R_C$
B$R_A > R_B > R_C$
C$R_A < R_B < R_C$

A$R_A = R_B = R_C$
a (a) All the conductors have equal lengths. Area of cross-section of $A$ is $\{ {(\sqrt 3 \,a)^2} - {(\sqrt 2 \,a)^2}\} = {a^2}$
Similarly area of cross-section of $B=$ Area of cross-section of $C = a^2$
Hence according to formula $R = \rho \frac{l}{A};$ resistances of all the conductors are equal i.e.$ R_A = R_B = R_C$

The resistance of a bulb filmanet is $100\,\Omega$ at a temperature of $100\,^o C$. If its temperature coefficient of resistance be $0.005$ per $^o C$, its resistance will become $200\,\Omega$ at a temperature of ................ $^oC$
The figure shows a circuit diagram of a ‘Wheatstone Bridge’ to measure the resistance $G$ of the galvanometer. The relation $\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{G}$ will be satisfied only when
