The resistance of a wire is 5 . It's new resistance in ohm if stretched to 5 times of it's original length will be :
- A25
- B625
- C5
- D125
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
For a wire, where is resistivity, is length, and is cross-sectional area.
-
When the wire is stretched, its volume remains constant:
-
The new length is given as:
-
Since volume is constant,
-
New resistance: Substitute and :
-
Given original resistance ,
-
Therefore, the correct option is:
Comparison with stored correct answer:
- Stored correct answer:
- Derived answer:
- They match.
