masses of two wires of same material are in the ratio m1:m2 and their lengths are in the ratio X:Y , then the ratio of resistancee are
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
I think the answer would be
1:1
This is due to the reason that the same wires of same material have same resistance due to same concentration of free electrons
Hope it helps you.
Given:
Two wires of the same material whose ratio of mass is m₁:m₂ and the ratio of length are X:Y.
To Find:
Ration their Resistance = R₁/R₂
Solution:
As we know that resistance is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area.
i.e. R = κ L/A
As we know,
volume = L × A
density × mass = L × A
m₁/m₂= L₁/L₂ × A₁/A₂
m₁/m₂= X/Y × A₁/A₂
A₁/A₂ = X/Y × m₂/m₁
The ratio of resistance will be
R₁/R₂= κ₁/κ₂ × L₁/L₂ × A₂/A₁ { both wires of same material ∴ κ₁= κ₂}
R₁/R₂= X/Y × Y/X × m₁/m₂ { from above }
R₁/R₂= m₁/m₂
Hence the ratio of R₁/R₂= m₁/m₂.
