Eight copper wire of length \(l\) and diameter \(d\) are joined in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance \(R\). If a single copper wire of length \(2\,l\) have the same resistance \((R)\) then its diameter will be \(.....d\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Each wire has resistance \(=\rho \frac{4 \ell}{\pi d ^{2}}=r\)
Eight wire in parallel, then equivalent resistance is \(\frac{ r }{8}=\frac{\rho \ell}{2 \pi d ^{2}}\)
Single copper wire of length \(2 l\) has resistance
\(R =\rho \frac{2 \ell \times 4}{\pi d _{1}^{2}}=\frac{\rho \ell}{2 \pi d ^{2}}\)
\(d _{1}=4 d\)
