If length of a conductor is doubled by keeping volume constant, then what is its new resistance if initial were `4Omega` ?

A

`16Omega`

B

`8Omega`

C

`4Omega`

D

`2Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`R_(1)=4 Omega, R_(2)=? ` if `l_(2)=2l_(1)` by keeping volume constant.
`(R_(2))/(R_(1))=((l_(2))/(l_(1)))^(2)`
`R_(2)=((2l_(1))/(l_(1)))^(2) R_(1)=4xx4=16 Omega`.
