A metal wire of circular cross-section has a resistance R1. The wire is now stretched without breaking, so that its length is doubled and the density is assumed to remain the same. If the resistance of the wire now becomes R2 then R2 : R1 is

  • 1 : 1

  • 1 : 2

  • 4 : 1

  • 1 : 4


C.

4 : 1

As we know that, R1 = ρla = ρ l2V

where, l = length of wire

          a = area of cross-section of the wire

and    V = volume of the wire R1 ∝ l2

           R1R2 = l1l22 = 122 R2 : R1 = 4 : 1
