$A$ wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to current,the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta T$ in a time $t$. $A$ number $N$ of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross-section but of length $2L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta T$ in the same time $t$. The value of $N$ is
