$A$ uniform metal wire carries a current of $2 \, A$ when an ideal cell of $3.4 \, V$ is connected across it. The wire has mass $8.92 \times 10^{-3} \, kg$, density $8.92 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and resistivity $1.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$. Then the length of the wire is (in $m$)

If a wire is stretched to make it $0.1 \%$ longer,its resistance will

The resistivity of a wire:

Two wires of equal length,one of aluminium and the other of copper,have the same resistance. Which of the two wires is lighter? Hence,explain why aluminium wires are preferred for overhead power cables. $(\rho_{Al} = 2.63 \times 10^{-8} \; \Omega m, \rho_{Cu} = 1.72 \times 10^{-8} \; \Omega m, \text{Relative density of } Al = 2.7, \text{of } Cu = 8.9.)$

The resistance of a wire at $0^{\circ} C$ is $20 \Omega$. If the temperature coefficient of resistance is $5 \times 10^{-3} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,the temperature at which the resistance will be double that at $0^{\circ} C$ is: (in $^{\circ} C$)
