1.

a wire of 12 ohm resistance is stretched to double its length find out the new resistance of the wire

Answer»

As we KNOW that ;
Resistance = Resistivity*length/area
Here we NOTE that the resistance is DIRECTLY proportional to length and inversely proportional to area of cross section .... 
Now a/c to question,;
Length of wire is double then area is reduced to HALF...
Now 
NEW resistance = resistivity*2length/area/2
New resistance =(resistivity*length/area)*4
New resistance = 4resistance
