Verify the statement
Answers
Answer :-
We have to verify the given statement that is,
1) Take wire AB and now replace that wire with another same material and thickness but of double it's length .
• Now, Measure it's resistance by measuring V and I.
• Then we found that the resistance of wire doubled with that of wire AB
• So, we can conclude that,
Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length.
2) Now, Replace the wire AB with another wire of the same material and same length but half of its cross sectional area.
• We can measure the redistance of wire by using relation R = V/I is twice the resistance of wire AB.
• So we can conclude that,
Resistance increases with the decrease in cross sectional area ie,
Resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area.
3) Now, Replace AB with a wire of same length and Same cross sectional area but of the some other material.
• Then we will found that the resistance of wire is different from that of wire AB.
• So we can say that,
The resistance of a conductor depends upon the nature of its material.
From the above observation we can conclude that,
1) R ∝ l. eq( 1 )
2) R ∝ 1/A eq( 2)
3) R ∝ ρ eq( 3)
From eq( 1 ) , ( 2 ) and ( 3) we get,
R = ρ * l / A
Where is a constant of proportionality and is called the specific resistance or resistivity. it depends on the nature of material.
Hope it's useful dear....
