A wire of resistance \(R_{1}\) is drawn out so that its length is increased by twice of its original length.The ratio of new resistance to original resistance is.

  1. A \(9: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 9\)
  3. C \(4: 1\)
  4. D \(3: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R _{1}=\rho \frac{ L _{1}}{ A _{1}}\) \(R _{2}=\rho\left(\frac{3 L _{1}}{ A _{1} / 3}\right)=9 \rho \frac{ L _{1}}{ A _{1}}\) \(\therefore \frac{ R _{2}}{R _{1} }=9\)
