A wire has a resistance R. Find new resistance, (i) if radius of cross-section of a cylindrical wire is doubled, then find ratio of initial to final resistance. (ii) if length of wire is increased by `10%`, then find the percentage increase in its resistance. (iii) if length of wire is increased by `20%`, then find the percentage increase in its resistance. A. 0.1B. 0.2C. 0.4D. 0.21

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`l_(2)=1.1 l_(1),R_(2)-R_(1)=?`
`(R_(2))/(R_(1))=((l_(2))/(l_(1)))^(2)`
`R_(2)=((1.1 l_(1))/(l_(1)))^(2)xxR_(1)=1.21R_(1)`
Now increase in resistance `=R_(2)-R_(1)` and
% increase in resistance `=((R_(2)-R_(1))/(R_(1)))xx100`
`=((1.21R_(1)-R_(1))/(R_(1)))xx100`
`=21%`
