Paheli took a wire of length 10 cm. Boojho took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness. Both of them connected the wires as shown in the circuit given in figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same. $(i)$. Will the heat produced in both the cases be equal? Explain. $(ii)$. Will the heat produced be the same if the wires taken by them are of equal lengths but of different thickness? Explain.

$(i)$. No, the amount of heat produced in both cases will not be equal. The amount of heat produced in a wire depends upon the length of the wire.
$(ii)$. No, the amount of heat produced in the wire depends upon the thickness of the wire.

A copper rod of diameter \( 1 \mathrm{~cm} \) and length \( 8 \mathrm{~cm} \) is drawn into a wire of length \( 18 \mathrm{~m} \) of uniform thickness. Find the thickness of the wire.
In the two 'set-ups' X and Y, shown on the next page, the wires AB and PQR are made of the same material and have equal thickness. The length of the wire AB, (in the set-up 'X') is equal to the diameter (= PR) of the semi-circle, formed by the wire PQR, (in the set-up 'Y'). Pins, P1 and P2, are attached, to wires AB and PQR respectively, with the help of wax. Which of the two pins, Pl or P2, will fall off later? Give reason for your answer."\n

A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is $40\ cm$ and breadth is $22\ cm$. If the same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side. Also find which shape encloses more area?
Boojho and Paheli performed experiments taking similar bulbs and cells but two different solutions A and B as shown in the figure.They found that the bulb in setting up A glows more brightly as compared to that of setup B. You would conclude that$(a)$. higher current is flowing through the circuit in set up A$(b)$. higher current is flowing through the circuit in set up B$(c)$. equal current is flowing through both the circuits$(d)$. the current flowing through the circuits in the two set up cannot be compared in this manner"

In the circuit given in the figure, Boojho observed that copper is deposited on the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Paheli tried to repeat the same experiment. But she could find only one copper plate. Therefore, she took a carbon rod as negative electrode. Will copper be still deposited on the carbon rod? Explain your answer."
