d $R =\rho \frac{\ell}{ A }$ be the initial resistance new resistance
$R ^{\prime}=\rho \frac{1.2 \ell}{0.96 A }=1.25 \rho \frac{\ell}{ A }=1.25 R$

In the following circuit, bulb rated as $1.5\, V$, $0.45\, W$. If bulbs glows with full intensity then what will be the equivalent resistance between $X$ and $Y$ ............. $\Omega$
In a meter bridge, as shown in the figure, it is given that resistance $Y=12.5\, \Omega $ and that the balance is obtained at a distance $39.5\, cm$ from end $A$ (by jockey $J$) . After interchanging the resistances $X$ and $Y$, a new balance point is found at a distance $l_2$ from end $A$. What are the values of $X$and $l_2$ ?
When current supplied by a cell to a circuit is $0.3 \,A$, its terminal potential difference is $0.9 \,V$. When the current supplied becomes $0.25 \,A$, its terminal potential difference becomes $1.0 \,V$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............ $\Omega$
Resistance are connected in a meter bridge circuit as shown in the figure. The balancing length $l_{1}$ is $40\,cm$. Now an unknown resistance $x$ is connected in series with $P$ and new balancing length is found to be $80\,cm$ measured from the same end. Then the value of $x$ will be $.......\Omega$
In the circuit shown below, the resistances are given (in $\Omega$ ) and the battery is assumed ideal with emf equal to $3.0 \,V$. The resistor that dissipates the most power is
The effective resistance of two resistors in parallel is $\frac{{12}}{7}\,\Omega $. If one of the resistors is disconnected the resistance becomes $4$ $\Omega$. The resistance of the other resistor is.............. $\Omega$
A $10\, m$ long wire of $20\,\Omega$ resistance is connected with a battery of $3\, volt$ $e.m.f.$ (negligible internal resistance) and a $10 \,\Omega$ resistance is joined to it is series. Potential gradient along wire in volt per meter is
