JEE Advanced · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

In an aluminum (Al) bar of square cross section, a square hole is drilled and is filled with iron (Fe) as shown in the figure. The electrical resistivities of Al and Fe are 2.7×10-8Ω m and 1.0×10-7Ω m , respectively. The electrical resistance between the two faces P and Q of the composite bar is

  1. A 247564μΩ
  2. B 187564μΩ
  3. C 187549μΩ
  4. D 2475132μΩ
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 187564μΩ

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Aluminium
A=72-22=45 mm2
ρ=2.7×10-8 Ωm
l=50 mm
R1=2.7×10-8×5045×10-3Ω
R1=30μΩ
Rnet =R1R2R1+R2=30×12501280
=3×125×564
Rnet=187564μΩ
Ferrous
A=4 mm2
ρ=10-7 Ωm
l=50 mm
R2=10-7×504×10-3Ω
R2=1250 μΩ
