    The maximum current that flow. in the fuse wire before it blows out, varies with the radius\[r\]as

    A) \[{{r}^{3/2}}\]                                   

    B) \[r\]

    C) \[{{r}^{2/3}}\]                   

    D)        \[{{r}^{1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As\[{{i}^{2}}R=hA\] \[{{l}^{2}}\left( \frac{\rho L}{\pi {{r}^{2}}} \right)=h\times 2\pi rl,\,\,l\propto {{r}^{3/2}}\]
