Two identical slabs of given metal are joined together in two different ways as shown in figure. What is the ratio of the resistance of these two combinations? |
Answer» Let `l` and A be the length and area of cross-section of the each of the two slabs. Then `R= rho l//A` `R_(1) = (rho 2l)/A = 2R` `R_(2) = (rho l)/(2A)= R/2` `R_(1)/R_(2)=(2R)/(R//2) = 4 or R_(1) : R_(2)=4:1` |
