Resistivity of the material of a conduct...

Resistivity of the material of a conductor of uniform cross-section varies along its length as `rho=rho_(0)(1+alpha x)`. Find its resistance if its length is L and area of cross-section is A.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`dR=rho(dx)/(A)=rho_(0)(1+alphax)(dx)/(A),thereforeR=int_(0)^(L)dR`
