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 $K$)

What is the resistance of a cubic block of length $50 \, cm$ having a resistivity of $50 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega m$?

$A$ cylindrical resistor is connected to a battery with emf $5 \ V$. The resistance per unit length varies as $\rho(x) = \rho_0 \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^\alpha$,where $\rho_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants and $x$ is the distance from one end of the resistor. The product $\rho_0 L$ is $10 \ \Omega$,where $L$ is the length of the resistor. If the thermal power generated by the resistor is $20 \ W$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:
