An electrical cable of copper has just one wire of radius 9 mm. Its resistance is 5Ω. The single wire of the cable is replaced by 6 different well-insulated copper wires each of radius 3 mm. The total resistance of the cable will now be equal to:

  • 270 Ω

  • 90 Ω

  • 45 Ω

  • 7.5 Ω


D.

7.5 Ω

Resistance, R = ρlA

R  1A  1r2

R1R2 = r2r125R2 = 392R2 = 5 × (3)2 = 45 Ω

The equivalent resistance of 6 wires of resistance R2 each connected in parallel

R = R26 = 456 = 7.5 Ω
