Four wires of the same diameter are connected in turn between two points, maintained at a constant potential difference. Their resistivities are; $\rho $ and $L$ (wire $1$ )., $1.2\,\rho $ and $1.2\,L$ (wire $2$ ), $0.9\,\rho $ and $0.9\,L$ (wire $3$ ) and $\rho $ and $1.5\,L$ (wire $4$ ). Rank the wires according to the rates at which energy is dissipated as heat, greatest first
