  • question_answer
    A cylindrical wire is stretched upto twice of its length, then its resistance becomes :

    A)  4 times               

    B)         unchanged

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]times                      

    D)         2 times

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                Volume remains unchanged \[{{A}_{1}}{{l}_{1}}={{A}_{2}}{{l}_{2}}\] \[{{A}_{1}}\times l={{A}_{2}}\times 2l\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\times \frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}=\frac{l}{2l}\times \frac{1}{2}\] \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{R}_{2}}=4{{R}_{1}}\] Resistance becomes 4 times the initial resistance.
