The resistance of a wire is \(5 \Omega\). It's new resistance in ohm if stretched to \(5\) times of it's original length will be :

  1. A \(625\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(125\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(125\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R _{\text {initial }}=\frac{\rho \ell}{ A }=5 \Omega\) \(\because\) Volume of wire is constant in stretching \(V _{ i }= V _{ f }\) \(A _{ i } \ell_{ i }= A _{ f } \ell_{ f }\) \(A \ell= A ^{\prime}(5 \ell)\) \(A ^{\prime}=\frac{ A }{5}\)…
