A $$1 \mathrm{~m}$$ long wire is broken into two unequal parts $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$. The $$\mathrm{X}$$ part of the wire is streched into another wire W. Length of $$W$$ is twice the length of $$X$$ and the resistance of $$\mathrm{W}$$ is twice that of $$\mathrm{Y}$$. Find the ratio of length of $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$.
Two metallic wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $$\sigma_{1}$$ and $$\sigma_{2}$$ are the conductivities of the these wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is :
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A uniform wire of resistance $$80 \,\Omega$$ is cut into four equal parts. These parts are now connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination will be $$5 \,\Omega$$.
Statement II: Two resistances 2R and 3R are connected in parallel in a electric circuit. The value of thermal energy developed in 3R and 2R will be in the ratio $$3: 2$$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below
A wire of resistance R1 is drawn out so that its length is increased by twice of its original length. The ratio of new resistance to original resistance is :
