A conducting wire of length \(l\) area of cross-section \(A\) and electric resistivity \(\rho\) is connected between the terminals of a battery. A potential difference \(V\) is developed between its ends, causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of the cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be:
1. \(\dfrac{4VA}{\rho l}\)

2. \(\dfrac{\rho l}{4VA}\)

3. \(\dfrac{3VA}{4\rho l}\)

4. \(\dfrac{VA}{4\rho l}\)

The Wheatstone bridge shown in the Figure, gets balanced when the carbon resistor is used as \(R_1\) has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors \( R_2\) and \(R_4\) are \(80 ~\Omega\) and \(40 ~\Omega,\) respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as \(R_3\) would be:
      
1. Brown, Blue, Brown
2. Brown, Blue, Black
3. Red, Green, Brown
