    The external diameter of a 314 m long copper tube is 1.2 cm and the internal diameter is 1 cm. Calculate its resistance if the specific resistance of copper is \[2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega -m.\]

    A)  \[\text{5}.0\text{x1}{{0}^{-\text{2}}}\text{ }\Omega .\]              

    B)  \[\text{4}.\text{4}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{2}}}\text{ }\Omega \]

    C) \[\text{3}.\text{14}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{2}}}\text{ }\Omega \]     

    D)  \[\text{2}.\text{2}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{2}}}\text{ }\Omega .\]

    E)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                     Given, \[l=314\,m\]                 \[\rho =2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega m\]                 \[{{D}_{1}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-2}}m\]                 \[{{D}_{2}}=1\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] As           \[R=\frac{\rho l}{A}\]     or            \[R=\frac{\rho l}{\frac{\pi }{4}[D_{1}^{2}-D_{2}^{2}]}\] or            \[R=\frac{4\times 2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\times 314}{\pi {{[1.2)}^{2}}-{{(1.0)}^{2}}]\times {{10}^{-4}}}\]                 \[=0.2\,\Omega \]
