$A$ heating element has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ at room temperature. When it is connected to a supply of $220\,V$,a steady current of $2\,A$ passes through it and the temperature is $500\,^{\circ}C$ higher than room temperature. What is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element?

$A$ conducting wire of length $l$,area of cross-section $A$,and electric resistivity $\rho$ is connected between the terminals of a battery. $A$ potential difference $V$ is developed between its ends,causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved,the resultant current would be:

$A$ wire of aluminium and a wire of germanium are cooled to a temperature of $77 \,K$. Then

The resistance of a wire is $20 \, \Omega$. It is stretched such that its length becomes three times its original length. The new resistance of the wire will be ............. $ \Omega$.
