Bincrease by $0.2 \%$
b Resistance of wire
$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}=\frac{\rho l^{2}}{C}(\text { where } A l=C)$
$\therefore $ Fractional change in resistance
$\frac{\Delta R}{R}=2 \frac{\Delta l}{l}$
$\therefore $ Resistance will increase by $0.2 \%$

Two wires of same material have length $L$ and $2L $ and cross-sectional areas $4A$ and $A$ respectively. The ratio of their specific resistance would be
In the given figure $R_1=10 \Omega, R_2=8 \Omega, R_3=4 \Omega$ and $R_4=8 \Omega$. Battery is ideal with emf $12 \mathrm{~V}$. Equivalent resistant of the circuit and current supplied by battery are respectively.
A current of $2\, mA$ was passed through an unknown resistor which dissipated a power of $4.4\, W$. Dissipated power when an ideal power supply of $11\, V$ is connected across it is
The equivalent resistance of a group of resistances is $R$. If another resistance is connected in parallel to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_1$ and if it is connected in series to the group , its new equivalent becomes $R_2$ we have :
To determine the resistance ($R$) of a wire, a circuit is designed below, The $V-I$ characteristic curve for this circuit is plotted for the voltmeter and the ammeter readings as shown in figure. The value of $\mathrm{R}$ is . . . . . . .$\Omega$
In the figure the potentiometer wire of length $l =100\, cm$ and resistance $9\Omega$ is joined to a cell of emf $E_1 = 10V$ and internal resistance $r_1 = 1\Omega $. Another cell of emf $E_2 = 5\, V$ and internal resistance $r_2 = 2 \Omega $ is connected as shown. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AC$ is ............... $cm$
