Resistance of a wire is \(8 \Omega\). It is drawn in such a way that it experiences a longitudinal strain of \(400 \%\). The final resistance of the wire is

  1. A \(100 \Omega\)
  2. B \(200 \Omega\)
  3. C \(300 \Omega\)
  4. D \(400 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(200 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}_1=8 \Omega, \varepsilon=\frac{\delta 1}{\mathrm{l}_1}=4 \Rightarrow \delta \mathrm{l}=4 \mathrm{l}_1\) \(\therefore \quad l_2=l_1+81=l_1+4 l_1=5 l_1\) Now, resistance of a wire is given by…
