In a hot wire ammeter due to the flowing of the current, the temperature of the wire is increased by \(5^{\circ}\) C. If the value of the current is doubled, then the increase in temperature will be:
1. \(15^{\circ}\) C
2. \(20^{\circ}\) C
3. \(25^{\circ}\) C
4. \(30^{\circ}\) C

If there are two bulbs of \((40~\text{W},200~\text{V}),\) and \((100~\text{W},200~\text{V}),\) then the correct relation for their resistance is:
1. \(R_{40}<R_{100}\)
2. \(R_{40}>R_{100}\)
3. \(R_{40}=R_{100}\)
4. no relation can be predicted

An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. source, the water in the kettle boils in \(10\) minutes. When the other coil is used the water boils in \(40\) minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be:
1. \(8\) min
2. \(4\) min
3. \(25\) min
4. \(15\) min
