The resistivity of an iron wire is \( 10 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \). The resistance of an iron wire is \( 5 \, \Omega \). If its length as well as thickness is doubled then its resistivity will be :

  1. A \( 10 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)
  2. B \( 20 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)
  3. C \( 5 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)
  4. D \( 40 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 10 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resistivity is an intrinsic property of the material. It does not change with dimensions. Resistivity = \( 10 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \text{ m} \)
