A cylindrical conductor of length 1 and uniform area of cross section A has resistance R. Another conductor of same material and resistance R has length 21. what will be it's area of cross section |

Answer» Answer: area of CROSS section will be 2A Hi Aashritha , this is Anu (actually it is not 1 it is L , so kindly REPLACE the 1s with Ls) and check the answer below The resistance of a WIRE is R=ρ A/L which can ALSO be represented as A=ρ R/L
where, ρ - Resistivity L - LENGTH A - Area of a cross-section ◇ WKT, the length is directly proportional to the resistance and the area of cross-section is inversely proportional to the resistance. ◇ In this case, the length of the conductor is doubled (2L) and so the resistance will be 2R. For the resistance to remain the same as R, the area of cross-section is also doubled as 2A. therefore, the area of cross-section is 2A. |
