Two wires of equal length, one of copper and the other of manganin have the same resistance. Which wire is thicker ?

Answer»

Solution :`R_("copper")= rho_(C) (1_(c))/(A_(c))`
`R_(m)= rho_(m)(l_(m))/(A_(m))`
Now `"" R_(c) = R_(m) ` ( GIVEN )
`l_(c)=l_(m) ` (given )
`:. (rho_(m))/(A_(c))=(rho_(m))/(A_(m))`
or `"" (rho_(c))/(rho_(m))=(A_(c))/(A_(m))`
Since `"" rho_(m) lt rho_(c)`
`:. "" A_(m) lt A_(c)`
Copper wire will be thicker .
