D$180$
d (d) In case of stretching of wire $R \propto {l^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $If length becomes $3$ times so Resistance becomes $9$ times
i.e. $R' = 9 \times 20 = 180\,\Omega $

Two indentical electric lamps marked $500\, W, \,\,220\, V$ are connected in series and then joined to a $110\, V$ line. The power consumed by each lamp is
$32$ cells, each of $emf$ $3V$, are connected in series and kept in a box. Externally, the combination shows an $emf$ of $84\, V$. The number of cells reversed in the combination is
In the given figure, a battery of emf $E$ is connnected across a conductor $P Q$ of length $'Y'$ and different area of cross-sections having radii $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}\left(r_{2}\,<\,r_{1}\right)$.
Choose the correct option as one moves from $P$ to $Q$ :
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 ............... $\Omega$
There are $8$ equal resistances $R$. Two are connected in parallel, such four groups are connected in series, the total resistance of the system will be
A thick wire is stretched so that its length become two times. Assuming that there is no change in its density, then what is the ratio of change in resistance of wire to the initial resistance of wire
A potentiometer wire of length $1\,m$ and resistance $10\,\Omega$ is connected in series with a cell of $emf$ $2\,V$ with internal resistance $1 \,\Omega$ and a resistance box including a resistance $R$. If potential difference between the ends of the wire is $1\, mV$, the value of $R$ is ............. $\Omega $
