The resistance of a wire is \(R\) ohm. If it is melted and stretched to \(n\) times its original length, its new resistance will be:

1. \(nR\) 2. \(\frac{R}{n}\)
3. \(n^2R\) 4. \(\frac{R}{n^2}\)

Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If \(\sigma_1~\text{and}~\sigma_2\) are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is:

1. \(\frac{2\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\) 2. \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{2\sigma_1\sigma_2}\)
3. \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{\sigma_1\sigma_2}\) 4. \(\frac{\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\)

Variation of current passing through a conductor with the voltage applied across its ends varies is shown in the diagram below. If the resistance \((R)\) is determined at points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\), we will find that:

1. \(R_C = R_D\) 2. \(R_B>R_A\)
3. \(R_C>R_B\) 4. None of these
