c As volume is constant,
So resistance $\propto$ (length $)^2$
$\Rightarrow \% \text { change in resistance }=20+20+\frac{400}{100}=44 \%$

As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ is carrying a constant current $i$ through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force $F$. Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain $\varepsilon$ when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.
An ideal cell of emf $10\, V$ is connected in circuit shown in figure. Each resistance is $2\, \Omega .$ The potential difference (in $V$) across the capacitor when it is fully charged is
The resistance of a wire of iron is $10\, ohms$ and temp. coefficient of resistivity is $5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,^oC$. At $20\,^oC$ it carries $30$ milliamperes of current. Keeping constant potential difference between its ends, the temperature of the wire is raised to $120\,^oC$. The current in milliamperes that flows in the wire is
Consider the circuit shown below where all resistors are $1 \,k \Omega$. If a current of magnitude $1 \,mA$ flows through the resistor marked $X$, the potential difference measured between points $P$ and $Q$ are ..............$V$
