We have a 100 m long thin copper wire of resistance `100 Omega` it is melted to make a small rod of length 10 m.
what will be the new resistance ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the new resistance of the copper rod formed from the melted wire, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the conservation of volume When the copper wire is melted and reshaped into a rod, the volume of the material remains constant. The volume \( V \) of a wire can be expressed as: \[ V = A \times L \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area and \( L \) is the length of the wire. ...
