A wire is stretched to increase its length by 4 times. The resistance of the wire will :
- A decrease by 4 times
- B increase by 4 times
- C increase by 8 times
- D increase by 16 times
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) increase by 16 times
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( R = \rho \frac{L}{A} \) \( AL = A'L' \implies A' = A \frac{L}{L'} = A \frac{L}{4L} = \frac{A}{4} \) \( R' = \rho \frac{L'}{A'} = \rho \frac{4L}{A/4} = 16 \rho \frac{L}{A} = 16R \)
