Answer:
Given:
3 conductors of same material have been supplied.
Their specifications are as follows :
- L and A
- 2L and A/2
- L/2 and 2A
To find:
Which wire has a greater resistance.
Concept:
First let's define Ohm's law :
Ohm's Law states that at constant temperature, the resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the Area of cross-section of the conductor.
R = ρ(l/a)
where R => resistance , ρ => resistivity ,
l => length and a => area of cross section.
Calculation:
For 1st wire :
R1 = ρ(L/A).........(1)
For 2nd wire:
R2 = ρ{2L/(A/2)}
=> R2 = 4 ρ(L/A)........(2)
For 3rd wire:
R3 = ρ{(L/2)/2A}
=> R3 = ¼ ρ(L/A).........(3)
So final answer is max resistance is that of 2nd wire (2).
GiVEN:-
SPECIFICATIONS ARE:-
1)L AND A
2)2L AND A/2.
3)L/2 AND 2 A.
FIND:-
GREATER RESISTANCE.
ANSWER:-
USING THIS FORMULA,
HERE,
R IS RESISTANCE.
is resistivity .
L is a length.
a=area of section.
IN FIRST WIRE :-
1)R1=(L/A)
HERE,
R1 IS FIRST RESISTANCE.
is resistivity .
L is a length.
a=area of section.
IN SECOND WIRE:-
HERE,
R2 IS SECOND RESISTANCE.
is resistivity .
L is a length.
a=area of section.
IN THIRD WIRE:-
FROM, EQUATION 1 & 2 OR 3.
HENCE,
THE MAX RESISTANCE IS IN 2nd. wire.
