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 $

In a potentiometer circuit there is a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, volt$, a resistance of $5\, ohm$ and a wire of uniform thickness of length $1000\, cm$ and resistance $15\, ohm$. The potential gradient in the wire is
Four wires of equal length and of resistances $10$ $ ohms$ each are connected in the form of a square. The equivalent resistance between two opposite corners of the square is ............. $ohm$
The potential gradient along the length of a uniform wire is $10\,volt/metre$. $B$ and $C$ are the two points at $30\,cm$ and $60\,cm$ point on a meter scale fitted along the wire. The potential difference between $B$ and $C$ will be ............. $volt$
In the circuit shown, the reading of the ammeter (ideal) is the same with both switches open as with both closed find the value of resistance $R$ in $ohm$ . ................ $\Omega$
If a wire of resistance $20\,\Omega $ is covered with ice and a voltage of $210\, V$ is applied across the wire, then the rate of melting of ice is .................. $g/s$
According to Joule's law, if the potential difference across a conductor having a material of specific resistance remains constant, then the heat produced in the conductor is directly proportional to
The series combination of two batteries, both of the same emf $10 \mathrm{\;V},$ but different internal resistance of $20\; \Omega$ and $5\; \Omega,$ is connected to the parallel combination of two resistors $30\; \Omega$ and $\mathrm{R}\; \Omega .$ The voltage difference across the battery of internal resistance $20\; \Omega$ is zero, the value of $\mathrm{R}(\text { in } \Omega)$ is
When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3\, A$ flowing in the opposite direction produces a potential difference of $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is .............. $V$
