7) A wire has a resistance R are cut into 2 pieces and the small
pieces are connect in parallel resulting to a total resistance of 20.
What is the value of R?
A piece of wire has a resistance of 100 ohms. It is cut into 10 equal pieces. These shorter pieces are then connected in parallel. Determine the new resistance.
A lead wire and an iron wire are connected in parallel. Their respective resistances are in the ratio
49:24. The former carries 80 per cent more current than the latter and the latter is 47 per cent
longer than the former. Determine the ratio of their cross-sectional area.
