$A$ wire $50\, cm$ long and $1\, mm^2$ in cross-section carries a current of $4\, A$ when connected to a $2\, V$ battery. The resistivity of the wire is:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-6}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • B
    $4 \times 10^{-6}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-7}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-7}\, \Omega\cdot m$

In order to increase the resistance of a given wire of uniform cross-section to four times its value,a fraction of its length is stretched uniformly until the full length of the wire becomes $\frac{3}{2}$ times the original length. What is the value of this fraction?

The resistance of a wire at $300 \, K$ is found to be $0.3 \, \Omega$. If the temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire is $1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, K^{-1}$, the temperature at which the resistance becomes $0.6 \, \Omega$ is: (in $K$)
