NEET Physics Ohm's Law MCQ Question with Solution

What happens to the resistance of a conductor if its length is doubled, according to Ohm's Law?

A

The resistance doubles.

B

The resistance halves.

C

The resistance remains the same.

D

The resistance quadruples.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to Ohm's Law, the resistance is proportional to the length of the conductor. Therefore, if the length is doubled, the resistance also doubles.
