A copper wire is stretched to make it \(0.5\%\) longer. The percentage change in its electric resistance if its volume remains unchanged is ................ \(\%\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(2.5\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(0.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{R} =\frac{\rho \ell}{\mathrm{A}} \) \( \mathrm{R} =\frac{\rho \ell^{2}}{\mathrm{A} \ell}=\frac{\rho \ell^{2}}{\mathrm{V}}\) \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{d} \ell}{\ell} \) \({\rm{ Hence, }}\frac{{{\rm{dR}}}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{ }} = 1\% \)
