Four wires of the same diameter are connected, in turn, between two points maintained at a constant potential difference, Their resistivities and lengths are, `rho and L ("wire 1") 1.2rho and 1.2L("wire 2"), 0.9 rho and 0.9L("wire 3") and rho and 1.5L ("wire 4")`. Rank the wires according to hte rates at which energy is dissipated as heat, greatest first,
