Two wires of equal diameters, lengths l1,l2 and having resistivities S1,S2 respectively are joined in series. The equivalent resistivity of the combination is ____

  1. A s1l1+s2l2l1+l2
  2. B s1l2+s2l1l1-l2
  3. C s1l2+s2l1l1+l2
  4. D s1l2-s2l1l1-l2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) s1l1+s2l2l1+l2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equivalent resistance for series combination is given by R=R1+R2 ⇒SltotalA=S1l1A+S2l2A  ∴  ltotal=l1+l2 ⇒S=S1l1+S2l2l1+l1
