A 1 m long wire is broken into two unequal parts X and Y. The X part of the wire is stretched into another wire W. Length of W is twice the length of X and the resistance of W is twice that of Y. Find the ratio of length of X and Y.
- 1:4
- 1:2
- 4:1
- 2:1
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Rw = 2Ry
\(ρ\frac{2x}{\frac{A}{2}}=\frac{2ρ(1−x)}{A}\)
4x = 2(1 – x)
\(\frac{x}{1−x}=\frac{1}{2}\)
So, the correct option is (B): 1:2

- A capacitor, \( C_1 = 6 \, \mu F \), is charged to a potential difference of \( V_1 = 5 \, \text{V} \) using a 5V battery. The battery is removed and another capacitor, \( C_2 = 12 \, \mu F \), is inserted in place of the battery. When the switch 'S' is closed, the charge flows between the capacitors for some time until equilibrium condition is reached.

Types of Differential Equations
There are various types of Differential Equation, such as:
Ordinary Differential Equations:
Ordinary Differential Equations is an equation that indicates the relation of having one independent variable x, and one dependent variable y, along with some of its other derivatives.
\(F(\frac{dy}{dt},y,t) = 0\)
Partial Differential Equations:
A partial differential equation is a type, in which the equation carries many unknown variables with their partial derivatives.
Linear Differential Equations:
It is the linear polynomial equation in which derivatives of different variables exist. Linear Partial Differential Equation derivatives are partial and function is dependent on the variable.
Homogeneous Differential Equations:
When the degree of f(x,y) and g(x,y) is the same, it is known to be a homogeneous differential equation.
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a_1x + b_1y + c_1}{a_2x + b_2y + c_2}\)
