Current Electricity

  1. ​The resistance of a wire is 'R' ohm. If it is melted and stretched to 'n' times its original length, its new resistance will be :-​​
    1. R/n
    2. n²R
    3. R/n²
    4. nR
Correct Option: B

We know that, R =
ρl
A

or R =
ρl²
⇒ R ∝ l²
Volume

According to question l2 = nl1
R2=n²l1²
R1l1²

or,
R2
R1

⇒ R2 = n²R1
