Two wires of same length and thickness having specific resistances \(6\, \Omega \,cm\) and \(3 \,\Omega\, cm\) respectively are connected in parallel. The effective resistivity is \(\rho\, \Omega \,cm\). The value of \(\rho\) to the nearest integer, is ..... .
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\because\) in parallel
\(R _{ net }=\frac{ R _{1} R _{2}}{ R _{1}+ R _{2}}\)
\(\frac{\rho \ell}{2 A }=\frac{\rho_{1} \frac{\ell}{ A } \times \rho_{2} \frac{\ell}{ A }}{\rho_{1} \frac{\ell}{ A }+\rho_{2} \frac{\ell}{ A }}\)
\(\frac{\rho}{2}=\frac{6 \times 3}{6+3}=2\)
\(\rho=4\)
