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+alpha x)(dx)/A, therefore R = int_(0)^(L) dR`
