If `rho` pis the resistance in ohm of a centimeter cube, generally called the specific resistance of the substance constituting the conductor, the resistance r of the layer containing "a" cubes is given by

A

`1/r = (1)/(rho) + (1)/(rho)+….`

B

`1/r =(1)/(rhoa)+ (1)/(rhoa)+…`

C

`r=a//rho`

D

`r= rho + rho +….`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Reciprocal of resistance is conductance. We can add the conductance and not resistance.
Hence `1/tau = 1/rho + 1/rho +……..`
