The correct answer is:
both the length and the radius of the wire are doubled.
The heat produced is given by
$$
H=\frac{V^{2}}{R} \text { and } R=\frac{\rho \ell}{\pi r^{2}}
$$
$\therefore H=V^{2}\left(\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\rho \ell}\right)$
or $\quad H=\left(\frac{\pi V^{2}}{\rho}\right) \frac{r^{2}}{\ell}$
Thus heat $(H)$ is doubled if both length $(\ell)$ and radius $(r)$ are doubled.
$$
H=\frac{V^{2}}{R} \text { and } R=\frac{\rho \ell}{\pi r^{2}}
$$
$\therefore H=V^{2}\left(\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\rho \ell}\right)$
or $\quad H=\left(\frac{\pi V^{2}}{\rho}\right) \frac{r^{2}}{\ell}$
Thus heat $(H)$ is doubled if both length $(\ell)$ and radius $(r)$ are doubled.
