Current Electricity

  1. A wire of resistance 4 Ω is stretched to twice its original length. The resistance of stretched wire would be​​
    1. ​4 Ω ​
    2. 8 Ω ​
    3. 16 Ω
    4. ​2 Ω
Correct Option: C

Resistance R =
ρl
A

∵ l' = 2l
∴ A' =
A
2

∴ R'ρ
2l
= 4R = 4 × 4Ω = 16Ω
A

Therefore the resistance of new wire becomes 16 Ω
