A potential V0{V}_{0}V0​ is applied across a uniform wire of resistance R.R.R. The power dissipation is P1.{P}_{1}.P1​. The wire is then cut into two equal halves and a potential of V0{V}_{0}V0​ is applied across the length of each half. The total power dissipation across two wires is P2.{P}_{2}.P2​. The ratio of P2:P1{P}_{2}:{P}_{1}P2​:P1​ is x:1.\sqrt{x}:1.x​:1. The value of xxx is _____.
