Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R =\rho \frac{\ell}{ A }\), the cross-sectional area is \(\pi\left( b ^2- a ^2\right)\)

\(R =\rho \frac{\ell}{\pi\left( b ^2- a ^2\right)}=\frac{2.4 \times 10^{-8} \times 3.14}{3.14 \times\left(4^2-2^2\right) \times 10^{-6}}\)

\(=2 \times 10^{-3}\,\Omega\)

\(\rightarrow n =2\)
