The resistance of a wire is $R$. It is bent at the middle by $180^{\circ}$ and both the ends are twisted together to make a shorter wire. The resistance of the new wire is
A$2 R$
B$R / 2$
C$R / 4$
D$R / 8$

Resistance of wire $(R)=\rho \frac{l}{A}$ If wire is bent in the middle then $l^{\prime}=\frac{l}{2}, A^{\prime}=2 A$
$\therefore$ New resistance, $R ^{\prime}=\frac{R}{4}$.

When two identical batteries of internal resistance $1 \Omega$ each are connected in series across a resistor $\mathrm{R}$, the rate of heat produced in $R$ is $J_1$. When the same batteries are connected in parallel across $R$, the rate is $\mathrm{J}_2$. If $\mathrm{J}_1=2.25 \mathrm{~J}_2$ then the value of $\mathrm{R}$ in $\Omega$ is
Thirteen resistances each of resistance $R\, ohm$ are connected in the circuit as shown in the figure below. The effective resistance between $A$ and $B$ is
Two wires of the same material are given. The first wire is twice as long as the second and has twice the diameter of the second. The resistance of the first will be
A wire $100\,cm$ long and $2.0\,mm$ diameter has a resistance of $0.7\, ohm$, the electrical resistivity of the material is ...........$ \times {10^{ - 6}}\,ohm \times m$
Consider a thin square sheet of side $\mathrm{L}$ and thickness $\mathrm{t}$, made of a material of resistivity $\rho$. The resistance between two opposite faces, shown by the shaded areas in the figure is
Space between two concentric conducting spheres of radii $a$ and $b (b > a)$ is filled with $a$ medium of resistivity $\rho $. The resistance between the two spheres will be
A battery consists of a variable number $n$ of identical cells (having internal resistance reach) which are connected in series. The terminals of the battery are short-circuited and the current $I$ is measured. Which of the graphs shows the correct relationship between $I$ and $n \,?$
A battery of internal resistance $4\, ohm$ is connected to the network of resistance as hown. In the order that the maximum power can be delivered to the network, the value of $R$ in ohm should be :-
