A wire when connected to $220\,V$ mains supply has power dissipation ${P_1}$. Now the wire is cut into two equal pieces which are connected in parallel to the same supply. Power dissipation in this case is ${P_2}$. Then ${P_2}:{P_1}$ is
Two identical cells each of emf $1.5\,V$ are connected in series across a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. An ideal voltmeter connected across $10\,\Omega$ resistance reads $1.5\,V$. The internal resistance of each cell is $......\Omega$.
A uniform wire of $16\,\Omega $ is made into the form of a square. Two opposite corners of the square are connected by a wire of resistance $16\,\Omega $. The effective resistance between the other two opposite corners is ............... $\Omega$
