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 $0.2 \%$

A resistance of $2 \Omega$ is comnected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \mathrm{~cm}$ ) and an unknown resistance, greater than $2 \Omega$, is connected across the other gap. When these resistance are interchanged, the balance point shifts by $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is
The current in a simple series circuit is $5.0\, amp$. When an additional resistance of $2.0\, ohms$ is inserted, the current drops to $4.0\, amp$. The original resistance of the circuit in $ohms$ was
$12$ cells each having same $emf$ are connected in series with some cells wrongly connected. The arrangement is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells which are in series. Current is $3 \,A$ when cells and battery aid each other and is $2\, A$ when cells and battery oppose each other. The number of cells wrongly connected is
In the given circuit the internal resistance of the $18\,V$ cell is negligible. If $R_1 = 400 \,\Omega ,\,R_3 = 100\,\Omega $ and $R_4 = 500\,\Omega $ and the reading of an ideal voltmeter across $R_4$ is $5\,V,$ then the value of $R_2$ will be ........... $\Omega$
