if the resistance doubles itself what happens to new resistance
Answers
resistivity will not change, if length doubles resistance doubles, if area doubles resistance becomes half according to formula
Given : If the wire is doubled on itself.
To find : new resistance of the wire.
solution : Let R is initial resistance of wire, L is length, A is cross sectional area and ρ is specific resistance of wire.
relation between R , L and A is given by, R = ρ L/A
as The wire is doubled on itself, length of wire would be L/2, cross sectional area would be 2A.
then, R' = ρ L'/A' = ρ (L/2)/(2A) = 1/4 × ρ L/A
⇒R' = R/4
Therefore new resistance of wire is reduced to R/4.
