- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Given data
- Length of wire:
- Cross-sectional area:
- Resistivity:
-
Resistance of the full wire
Using
So, the total resistance of the wire is
-
Wire bent into a complete circle
Diametrically opposite points divide the circular wire into two equal halves.
Therefore, each half has resistance
-
Equivalent resistance between diametrically opposite points
These two halves are connected in parallel between the diametrically opposite points.
Hence,
-
Check options
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
