Hint :Use the definition of resistance of a material in terms of its length, cross sectional area and resistivity of the material to find the new resistance of the wire when stretched. The resistance of a material or conductor of resistivity ρ wire of length l and cross section a is given by, R=ρla .

Complete Step By Step Answer:

We know the resistance of a material or conductor of resistivity ρ wire of length l and cross section a is given by, R=ρla .

Here, at first the length of the wire is stretched to twice its length. Let initially the length of the conductor was l and cross section was a then the resistance of the wire was R1 . After stretching its length to twice the initial length, it becomes l′=2l . Also the cross section is halved , so the cross section becomes a′=a2 .Since, the volume of the wire is constant.

Since, resistivity is a property of the material and it only changes if the material is different So, ρ is always constant for the wire.

Hence, the new resistance becomes, R2=ρl′a′ .

Now, given that the resistance of the wire before stretching, R1=4Ω . Therefore, ρla=4

Now, after stretching the new resistance becomes, R2=ρl′a′

Putting the values of the new length l′=2l and cross sectional area a′=a2 , we get, the new resistance as,

R2=ρ2la2

Or, R2=4ρla

In terms of the initial resistance that becomes, R2=4R1

Hence, putting the value of given R1=4Ω we get the new resistance R2=4×4=16Ω .

So, the new resistance of the wire will be 16Ω .
