A wire of resistance `R` is elongated `n-fold` to make a new uniform wire. The resistance of new wire.

A

nR

B

`n^(2) R`

C

2nR

D

`2n^(2)R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

For stretching wire
`therefore R prop l^(2)`
`therefore E^(.)/R = (n^(2)l^(2))/l^(2)`
`R. = n^(2)R`
