. If the potential difference between the end of a wire of fixed resistance is doubled, by how much does the electric power increase?

Answer

We know that, P =V2/R

R is constant V is doubled

Therefore, P = 2(V2)/R P = 4V/R

Therefore, when the resistance is doubled, power becomes four times the actual value.
