The above question is based on a numerical based on resistance and resistivity. So, it's important to know about these first of all.
- Resistance:
It is the opposition to the flow of current in the circuit. Higher resistance means lower conductivity. Resistance is calculated by the ohm's law i.e.
✍ Note:
Symbols have their usual meanings.
- Resistivity
It is the measure of resistance or resisting power of any conductor i.e. specific material at constant temperature. The relationship between Resistance and Resistivity(ρ):
✍ Note:
Symbols have their usual meanings.
By using these two formuals, let's solve the question.

i) According to question, we are provided with the resistance, resistivity and diameter.
- ρ = 1.6 × 10^-8 Ω m
- R = 12 Ω
- diameter = 0.5 mm
First we all need to convert the diameter into m, as the resistivity has unit "Ω m", We know, 1 mm = 1 × 10^-3 m
Then, Diameter = 0.5 × 10^-3 m
Radius(r) = 0.25 × 10^-3 m (to find the area of cross section)
Finding the area as we need it later,
By using formula, finding the length
✒Thus, the required length(L) of wire = 1.473 ×10^2 m(approx.)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
b) Let the new resistance be R'
And the new area be A'
New diameter = d/2 , then new radius = r/2
Length and resistivity is constant.
So, Now by using formula,
✒ Thus, the new resistance = 48 Ω

Answer:
a) 1.44 × 10 m²
b) 192 ohm
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of wire = 0.5 mm
Resistivity of wire = ohm m.
To find:
a) Length of wire when resistance is 12 Ohm
b) Resistance of another wire of same length but half diameter.
Solution(a):
1st) We have to find the Cross sectional Area of wire.
2nd) We will use the Resistivity formula.
As we know, 1 mm =
Diameter of wire =
Radius (r) of wire =
Cross Sectional Area(A) = πr²
According to question,
The new length be 1.44 × 10²m (approx).
Solution(b):
Length and resistivity will remain unchanged.
Let, The orginal Diameter be d .
The new Diameter be = d/2
So, Radius = d/4
Therefore, Cross sectional Area = πr²
= (A)1/16
Now, Using Formula.
Therefore, The new resistance is 192 ohm
Concept Used
Resistivity : The resistance of a conductor which have unit length and unit cross sectional area is known as resistivity.
Resistivity is denoted by (ρ) .
Here, R = Resistance of wire
A = Cross Sectional Area of wire
l = length of wire
