D$P > R > Q > S$

Power consumed in each case is
$( Q )$ $P=\frac{V^2}{R / 3}=\frac{3 V^2}{R}$
$( P )$ $P=\frac{V^2}{3 R}$
$( R )$ $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$
$( S )$ $P=\frac{(2 V)^2}{R}=\frac{4 V^2}{R}$
So, order of increasing power consumption is $P > R > Q > S$.

A uniform wire of length $l$ and radius $r$ has a resistance of $100\, \Omega $. It is recast into a wire of radius $\frac{r}{2}$. The resistance of new wire will be ............... $\Omega$
An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one coil is used, water in the kettle boils in $5$ minutes, while when second coil is used, same water boils in $10\,\min$. If the two coils, connected in parallel are used simultaneously, the same water will boil in time
A cell of constant $e.m.f.$ first connected to a resistance ${R_1}$ and then connected to a resistance ${R_2}$. If power delivered in both cases is then the internal resistance of the cell is
The current $i_1$ and $i_2$ through the resistor $R_1 (= 10\,\Omega )$ and $R_2 (=30 \,\Omega )$ in the circuit diagram with $E_1 = 3\,V, E_2 = 3\,V$ and $E_3 = 2\,V$ are respectively:
A null point is found at $200\,cm$ in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.
Three equal resistors connected in series across a source of $e.m.f.$ together dissipate $10\, watt$. If the same resistors are connected in parallel across the same $e.m.f.$, then the power dissipated will be .............. $watt$
