Given :
A wire of resistance 10Ω is uniformly stretched till length becomes 3 times.
To Find :
New resistance of stretched wire.
Solution :
Let original length of wire be L and area of cross section be A.
Now it is uniformly stretched till length becomes 3 times. Here volume of wire remains constant
➙ Initial V = Final V
➙ A₁L₁ = A₂L₂
- L₁ = L and L₂ = 3L
➙ A₁L = 3A₂L
➙ A₂ / A₁ = 1 / 3
We know that resistance of conductor is directly proportional to the length of conductor and inversely proportional to the area of cross section.
- R ∝ L / A
➛ R₁ / R₂ = (L₁ / L₂) × (A₂ / A₁)
➛ 10/R₂ = (L/3L) × (1/3)
➛ 10/R₂ = 1/9
➛ R₂ = 10 × 9
➛ R₂ = 90 Ω
∴ New resistance of stretched wire will be 90Ω.
