A potential $V_0$ is applied across a uniform wire of resistance $R$. The power dissipation is $P_1$. The wire is then cut into two equal halves and a potential of $V _0$ is applied across the length of each half. The total power dissipation across two wires is $P_2$. The ratio $P_2: P_1$ is $\sqrt{x}: 1$. The value of $x$ is $.............$.
