The resistance per centimeter of a meter bridge wire is $\mathrm{r}$, with $\mathrm{X}\  \Omega$ resistance in left gap. Balancing length from left end is at $40 \mathrm{~cm}$ with $25\  \Omega$ resistance in right gap. Now the wire is replaced by another wire of $2 \mathrm{r}$ resistance per centimeter. The new balancing length for same settings will be at
  • A$20 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • B $10 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • C$80 \mathrm{~cm}$
  • D $40 \mathrm{~cm}$

    A potential $V_0$ is applied across a uniform wire of resistance $R$. The power dissipation is $P_1$. The wire is then cut into two equal halves and a potential of $V _0$ is applied across the length of each half. The total power dissipation across two wires is $P_2$. The ratio $P_2: P_1$ is $\sqrt{x}: 1$. The value of $x$ is $.............$.
