$A$ metal wire has a resistance of $35 \,\Omega$. If its length is increased to double by drawing it,then its new resistance will be (in $\Omega$)

$A$ conducting wire of length $l$,area of cross-section $A$,and electric resistivity $\rho$ is connected between the terminals of a battery. $A$ potential difference $V$ is developed between its ends,causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved,the resultant current would be:
