Keeping the temperature and diameter constant the length of a wire is made thrice. What change in the resistance of the wire will be seen ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that if the tempeature, nature of the material and cross-section of a conductor remaining unchanged, resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length. So, it the wire is made thrice, then its resistnance will also be three times the previous value.
