A wire of resistance 3 ohm and length 10 cm is stretched to length 30 cm. Assuming that it has a uniform cross section, what will be its new resistance ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the new resistance of the wire after it has been stretched, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between resistance, length, and area. The resistance \( R \) of a wire is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{\rho \cdot l}{A} \] where: ...
