A hollow cylindrical conductor has length of \(3.14\,m\), while its inner and outer diameters are \(4\,mm\) and \(8\,mm\) respectively. The resistance of the conductor is \(n \times 10^{-3}\,\Omega\).If the resistivity of the material is \(2.4 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m\). The value of \(n\) is \(..........\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R =\rho \frac{\ell}{ A }\), the cross-sectional area is \(\pi\left( b ^2- a ^2\right)\) \(R =\rho \frac{\ell}{\pi\left( b ^2- a ^2\right)}=\frac{2.4 \times 10^{-8} \times 3.14}{3.14 \times\left(4^2-2^2\right) \times 10^{-6}}\) \(=2 \times 10^{-3}\,\Omega\) \(\rightarrow n =2\)
