Answer:

Correct Answer: 70. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Resistance is directly proportionl to length of the wire. As length is doubled so mass is doubled and resistance is doubled.

We have

$\frac{(10 E)^{2}}{R} t=m S \Delta T$, Now $\frac{(n E)^{2} t}{2 R}=(2 m) S \Delta T$

$\Rightarrow \frac{n^{2} E^{2} t}{2 R}=2 \frac{10^{2} E^{2} t}{R}$

$\Rightarrow n=20$
