Question

if a lenght wire of 20 ohms is doubles then its resistence is?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given resistance = R1 = 20 ohm

Let length of the wire = L

Therefore, new length of the wire = 2L

Since, when the length is doubled, cross sectional area of the wire becomes half.

Therefore, new resistance = R = 2L/ (A/2) =4L/A

R = 4 x 20 (since, L/A = resistance)

R = 80 ohm.
