In India,electricity is supplied for domestic use at $220\,V$. It is supplied at $110\,V$ in the $USA$. If the resistance of a $60\,W$ bulb for use in India is $R$,then the resistance of a $60\,W$ bulb for use in the $USA$ will be:

  • A
    $R$
  • B
    $2R$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{2}$

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