Answer» Answer: If the diameter of a copper wire is doubled then its current carrying capacity will become become double. Explanation: According to the Ohm's Law V=IR Therefore I ∝1/R That means I will increase if R DECREASES. And I know that R ∝ Ρ*L/A where P = density , l = LENGTH and A = Area Area is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to Resistance that means Area decreases if R increases. Now we know that R is inversely proportional to both Area and Current. That means Area is directly proportional to Current i.e. A ∝ I Hence, if the diameter of a copper wire is doubled then its current carrying capacity becomes double. |
