If a copper wire is stretched to increase its length by \(20 \% \). The percentage increase in resistance of the wire is \(..........\%\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(44\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As volume is constant,
So resistance \(\propto\) (length \()^2\)
\(\Rightarrow \% \text { change in resistance }=20+20+\frac{400}{100}=44 \%\)
