across the conductor is doubled keeping the length and temperature
constant?

end A, when the resistor Y is of value 12.5Ω. calculate the value of balancing
length on the same wire if X & Y are interchanged.
OR
Two metallic wires of the same material have the same length but cross-

parallel. Compare the drift velocities of electrons in the two wires in both the
cases (i) and (ii).
