Two wires \(A\) and \(B\) are made up of the same material and have the same mass. Wire A has radius of \(2.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) and wire \(B\) has radius of \(4.0 \mathrm{~mm}\). The resistance of wire B is \(2 \Omega\). The resistance of wire \(\mathrm{A}\) is _______ \(\Omega\).
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(32\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\because \mathrm{R}=\frac{\rho \ell}{A}=\frac{\rho \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{A}^2}\)
\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{B}}^2}{\mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{A}}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{B}}^4}{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{A}}^4}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{A}}}{2}=\left[\frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{2 \times 10^{-3}}\right]^4\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{A}}=32 \Omega .\)
