Question
When a certain weight is suspended from a long uniform wire, its length increases by one  $cm$. If the same weight is suspended from another wire of the same material and length  but having a diameter half of the first one, the increase in length will be ......... $cm$

Answer

$\mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{Fl}}{\alpha \Delta \mathrm{l}}$ or $\Delta \mathrm{l} \propto \frac{1}{\alpha} ; \Delta 1 \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{D}^{2}}$

$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{l}_{2}}{\Delta \mathrm{l}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{D}_{1}^{2}}{\mathrm{D}_{2}^{2}}=4$ or $\Delta \mathrm{l}_{2}=4 \Delta \mathrm{l}_{1}=4 \mathrm{cm}$

Given below are two statements:

Statement $(I)$ : When currents vary with time, Newton's third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.

Statement $(II)$ : Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart's law.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The potential energy of a particle of mass m is given by $U(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{E_0};\;\;\;0 \le x \le 1\\\,0\;;\;\;\;\,\,\,\,x > 1\end{array} \right.$ $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle, when 0 $\leq$ x $\leq$1 and x > 1 respectively. If the total energy of particle is $2\ E_0$, the ratio $\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}$ will be
