  • question_answer
    A material ?B' has twice the specific resistance of \[A'\]. A circular wire made of ?B? has twice the diameter of a wire made of ?A?. Then for the two wires to have the same resistance, the ratio \[{{\ell }_{B}}/{{\ell }_{A}}\] of their respective lengths must be

    A) \[1\]                             

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4}\]                      

    D)        \[2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{\rho }_{B}}=2{{\rho }_{A}}\] \[{{d}_{B}}=2{{d}_{A}}\] \[{{R}_{B}}={{R}_{A}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\rho }_{B}}{{\ell }_{B}}}{{{A}_{B}}}=\frac{\rho {{.}_{A}}{{\ell }_{A}}}{{{A}_{A}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\frac{{{\ell }_{B}}}{{{\ell }_{A}}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{A}}}{{{\rho }_{B}}}\times \frac{d_{B}^{2}}{d_{A}^{2}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{A}}}{2{{\rho }_{A}}}\times \frac{4d_{A}^{2}}{d_{A}^{2}}=2\]
