NEET Physics Resistance MCQ Question
The resistance of a wire is 10 Ω. Its length is increased by 10% by stretching. The new resistance will now be
12 Ω
2 Ω
13 Ω
11 Ω
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Resistance is proportional to the square of the length when volume is constant. Increasing length by 10% increases resistance by 21%, making it 12 Ω.
