Two wires A and B are formed from the same material with same mass. Diameter of wire A is half of diameter of wire B. If the resistance of wire A is `32 Omega`, find the resistance of wire B.

Answer» Volume of A = Volume of B,
`pi(D_(A)^(2)//4)l_(A) = pi (D_(B)^(2)//4)l_(B) or l_(A)/l_(B) = D_(B)^(2)/D_(A)^(2)=4`
Resistance, `R=rhol/A= rho l/((pi D^(2)//4)) or R prop l/D^(2)`
`:. R_(B)/R_(A) =l_(B)/l_(A) xx D_(A)^(2)/D_(B)^(2) = 1/4 xx 1/4=1/16`
or `R_(B)=R_(A)/16 = 32/16=2 Omega`.
