A wire of resistance R is elongated n-fold to make a new uniform wire. The resistance of new wire

  • nR

  • n2R

  • 2nR

  • 2n2R


B.

n2R

The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. Thus, R ∝ l, so the length increases n-fold also since the volume of the wire remains constant, so the area of the wire decreases n-fold. Hence the resistance increases to n2R as the area is inversely proportional to resistance.
