What equal length of an iron wire and a copper-nickel alloy wire, each of \(2 \; {mm}\) diameter connected parallel to give an equivalent resistance of \(3 \Omega ?\) (Given resistivities of iron and copper-nickel alloy wire are \(12 \;\mu \Omega {cm}\) and \(51\; \mu \Omega {cm}\) respectively) (in \({m}\))

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(97\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{{R}_{1} {R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}+{R}_{2}}=3\)

\(\frac{\left(12 \times 10^{-6} \times 10^{-2}\right) \ell \times 4}{\frac{\pi(2)^{2} \times 10^{-6}} \times \frac{\left(51 \times 10^{-6} \times 10^{-2}\right) \ell \times 4}{\pi(2)^{2} \times 10^{-6}}}{\frac{63 \times 10^{-6} \times 10^{-2} \times \ell \times 4}{\pi(2)^{2} \times 10^{-6}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \ell=97 {m}\)
