The resistance of the wire is . It is now stretched (keeping the volume constant) without breaking so that its length becomes three times. Now the resistance becomes and the value of What is the value of ?

Important Questions on Current Electricity
A carbon resistance has the following colour code. What is the value of the resistance?






In a conductor, if the number of conduction electrons per unit volume is and mean free time is (femtosecond), its approximate resistivity is:




The values of resistance and tolerance, respectively, are







Model a torch battery of length to be made up of a thin cylindrical bar of radius and a concentric thin cylindrical shell of radius filled in between with an electrolyte of resistivity (see figure). If the battery is connected to a resistance of value , the maximum Joule heating in will take place for :





The Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure below, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as has the colour code (orange, red, brown). The resistors and are and , respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as , would be
