Answer:
C) 300%
Explanation:
Resistivity = R = p L/A where p is the resistivity / specific resistance
Let the length be l and the radius = r
Since l is increased by 100% thus,
l' = l+100/100l
= l`= 2l
Due to an increase in length, the area must decrease as volume remains constant
Al = A`l`
Hence, A` = A/2
New Resistance R` = pl`/A` = 4pl/A
Change in resistance = 3pl/A or 300 %
Therefore, the consequent decrease in diameter the change in the resistance of the wire will be 300%
