What are the factors on which the resistivity of a material depends?

The applied potential difference across a given resistor is altered so that the heat produced per second increases by a factor of $16.$ By what factor does the applied potential difference change?

The following table provides the resistivity of three samples:

Sample	$A$	$B$	$C$
Resistivity	$1.6 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$	$5.2 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$	$100 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \cdot m$

Which of them is suitable for heating elements of electrical appliances and why?

$(a)$ In the circuit shown, connect a nichrome wire of length $L$ between points $X$ and $Y$ and note the ammeter reading.
$(i)$ When this experiment is repeated by inserting another nichrome wire of the same thickness but twice the length $(2L)$, what changes are observed in the ammeter reading?
$(ii)$ State the changes that are observed in the ammeter reading if we double the area of cross-section without changing the length in the above experiment. Justify your answer in both cases.
$(b)$ "Potential difference between points $A$ and $B$ in an electric field is $1\, V$." Explain the statement.

If $1800\,C$ of charge passes through an electric bulb in $1$ hour, what is the current flowing through the bulb (in $A$)?

If three resistors of $5 \Omega$,$10 \Omega$,and $15 \Omega$ are connected in series,the equivalent resistance $R$ is equal to ........ (in $Omega$)
