An electric wire of length ‘I’ and area of cross-section a has a resistance R ohms. Another wire of the same material having the same length and area of cross-section 4a has a resistance of :

1. 4R

2. R/4

3. R/16

4. 16R

If \(n\), \(e\), \(\tau\) and \(m\) respectively represent the density, charge relaxation time and mass of the electron, then the resistance of a wire of length \(l\) and area of cross-section \(A\) will be:
1. \(\frac{ml}{ne^2\tau A}\)
2. \(\frac{m\tau^2A}{ne^2l}\)
3. \(\frac{ne^2\tau A}{2ml}\)
4. \(\frac{ne^2 A}{2m\tau l}\)

The relaxation time in conductors :

1. Increases with the increase in temperature

2. Decreases with the increase in temperature

3. It does not depend on the temperature

4. All of the sudden changes at 400 K

Resistance of tungsten wire at 150°C is 133 Ω. Its resistance temperature coefficient is 0.0045/°C. The resistance of this wire at 500°C will be
