A wire of length l, area of cross section A and resistance R is stretched so that thelength is doubled. How will its resistance and resistivity change?​

Answer»

\color{darkblue}\underline{\underline{\sf Given-}}

Then ,

Lenght is doubled = 2\ell

\color{darkblue}\underline{\underline{\sf To \: Find-}}

\color{darkblue}\underline{\underline{\sf Solution-}}

\color{violet}\bullet\underline{\boxed{\sf R =\rho\dfrac{\ell}{A}}}

Resistance is DIRECTLY proportional to Lenght of wire

\implies{\sf R\: \: \propto\:\:\ell}

\implies{\sf R \: \: \propto\:\;\dfrac{1}{A}}

Therefore, if \ell will be double then Resistance (R) will also doubled 2R

\color{darkblue}\underline{\underline{\sf Answer-}}

Resistance will be doubled (2R)

Resistivity will be same because it's CONSTANT.
