A \(12\) cm wire is given a shape of a right-angled triangle \(\mathrm{ABC}\) having sides \(3\) cm, \(4\) cm and \(5\) cm, as shown in the figure. The resistance between two ends \((\mathrm{AB, BC, CA})\) of the respective sides are measured one by one by a multi-meter. The resistances will be in the ratio:
             
1. \(9:16:25\)
2. \(27:32:35\)
3. \(21:24:25\)
4. \(3:4:5\)

A ring is made of a wire having a resistance of \(R_0=12~\Omega.\). Find points \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\), as shown in the figure, at which a current-carrying conductor should be connected so that the resistance \(R\) of the subcircuit between these points equals \(\frac{8}{3}~\Omega\)?

1. \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{5}{8}\) 2. \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{1}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{3}{8}\) 4. \(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\)

The electric resistance of a particular wire of iron is \(R.\) If its length and radius are doubled, then:

1. the resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will remain unchanged
2. the resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will be doubled
3. the resistance and the specific resistance will both remain unchanged
4. the resistance will be doubled and the specific resistance will be halved

Resistances \(n,\) each of \(r~\text{ohm},\)  when connected in parallel give an equivalent resistance of \(R~\text{ohm}.\) If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have resistance in \(\text{ohms}\) equal to:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{n^2}\)
2. \(\dfrac{R}{n}\)
3. \(nR\)
4. \(n^2R\)
