Tire or false 1 a short thick wire is the best conductor 2 if you double the thickness of a wire you cut the resistance in half 3 if you double the length of a wire you cut the resistance in half 4 when a light is first switched on the light bulbs filament has a lower resistance than after it gives off light for awhile. me on this

Two resistors r1 and r2 may be connected either in series or parallel across an ideal battery with emf ε. we desire the rate of energy dissipation of the parallel combination to be 8.75 times that of the series combination. if r1 = 105 ω, what are the (a) smaller and (b) larger of the two values of r2 that result in that dissipation rate?
