Given resistance , R = 20 Ω
And we have to find the new resistance with the help of the original length .
Solution :
We know very well that ,
R = (pl/A)
We can write it as :
R = (pl²/v)
Then ,
It is given that
l' = 2l
So ,
R' = (4pl²)/V = 4R ----(eq.1)
R = 20 ohm = 20 Ω
So , putting R = 20 ohm in equation 1 ,
We have :
R' = 4R = 4(20) = 80 Ω
The required new resistance is of 80 ohm = 80Ω
