$A$ cylindrical resistor is connected to a battery with emf $5 \ V$. The resistance per unit length varies as $\rho(x) = \rho_0 \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^\alpha$,where $\rho_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants and $x$ is the distance from one end of the resistor. The product $\rho_0 L$ is $10 \ \Omega$,where $L$ is the length of the resistor. If the thermal power generated by the resistor is $20 \ W$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:
