The resistance of a wire is ‘R’ ohm. If it is melted and stretched to ‘n’ times its original length, its new resistance will be

  • nR

  • R/n

  • n2R

  • R/n2

Solution

C.

n2R

straight R subscript 2 over straight R subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator begin display style straight I subscript 2 superscript 2 end style over denominator straight I subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction
space equals space fraction numerator straight n squared straight I subscript 1 superscript 2 over denominator straight I subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction
straight R subscript 2 over straight R subscript 1 space equals space straight n squared
straight R subscript 2 space equals space straight n squared straight R subscript 1
