The resistance of a wire is $2.5 \Omega$ at a temperature $373 \ K$. If the temperature coefficient of resistance of the material of the wire is $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ K^{-1}$,its resistance at a temperature $273 \ K$ is nearly: (in $Omega$)

The $I-V$ graph for a conductor at two different temperatures $100^{\circ} C$ and $400^{\circ} C$ is as shown in the figure. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor is about (in per degree Celsius).

The resistance of a wire is $20 \Omega$. It is stretched,so that the length becomes three times,then the new resistance of the wire will be (in $Omega$)

$A$ conducting wire has length $L_1$ and diameter $d_1$. After stretching,the same wire's length becomes $L_2$ and diameter $d_2$. The ratio of resistance before and after stretching is:
