Question 13

From Physics HL Paper 1A (May 2025, TZ2)

  1. A wire of length L is used in an electric heater. When the potential difference across the wire is 200V, the power transferred in the wire is 500W. A second wire is made from the same metal and has the same cross-sectional area. When a potential difference of 400V is applied across the second wire, the power transferred is 2000W.

What is the length of the second wire?
