The following table gives the resistivity of three samples
Sample | $A$ | $B$ | $C$ |
Resistivity | $1.6 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$ | $5.2 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$ | $100 \times 10^{-6} \Omega m$ |
Which of them is suitable for heating elements of electrical appliances and why ?
Sample $C$ will be used due to its high resistivity.
What makes the electric current to flow through an electrolyte?
If the current $I $ through a resistor is increased by $100\%$ (assume that temperature remains unchanged), the increase in power dissipated will be ........ $\%$
