    A wire of radius r has resistance R. If it is stretched to a radius of\[\frac{3r}{4}\]. Its resistance becomes

    A)  \[\frac{256R}{81}\]                        

    B)  \[\frac{81R}{256}\]        

    C)  \[\frac{16R}{9}\]                             

    D)  \[\frac{9R}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The resistance of a wire of length\[l,\]area of cross-section A and specific resistance p is. \[R=\rho \frac{l}{A}\] Also       \[volume=length\times area\] \[=lA=constant\]                 \[{{l}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}={{l}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}\]                 \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}=\frac{\pi \left( \frac{3r}{4} \right)}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}=\frac{9}{16}\]                 \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\times \frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\]                 \[=\frac{9}{16}\times \frac{9}{16}=\frac{81}{256}\]                 \[{{R}_{2}}=\frac{256{{R}_{1}}}{81}=\frac{256R}{81}\]
