A voltage DV is applied across the ends of a Nichrome heater wire having a cross-sectional area A and length L. The same voltage is applied across the ends of a second Nichrome heater wire having a cross-sectional area A and length 2L. Which wire gets hotter?
  1.The shorter wire does.
  2.The longer wire does.
  3.More information is needed.

Question 2

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice their original values). The wire now has
  1.more resistance than before.
  2.less resistance.
  3.The same resistance.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
