AIIMS 2002 Physics Resistance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

When a wire is stretched and its radius becomes r/2, then its resistance will be

A

16R

B

2R

C

4R

D

0

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Initial radius of wire, r1 = r and final radius of wire, r2 = r/2 = 0.5r. Since volume of the wire after stretch remains constant, therefore l1r1 = l2r2.
