Some heat is developed in a uniform metallic wire across the ends of which a constant voltage V is applied. The heat developed will be tripled if

  1. A the radius of the wire is tripled
  2. B the length of the wire is tripled
  3. C both the radius and the length of the wire are reduced to one-third
  4. D both the radius and the length of the wire are tripled
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) both the radius and the length of the wire are tripled

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P = \frac{V^2}{R}\) \(R = \rho \frac{L}{A} = \rho \frac{L}{\pi r^2}\) \(P = \frac{V^2}{\rho L / (\pi r^2)} = \frac{V^2 \pi r^2}{\rho L}\) \(P \propto \frac{r^2}{L}\) If radius \(r\) is tripled (\(3r\)) and length \(L\) is tripled (\(3L\)):…
