JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance \(\left(S_1\right)\) of given wire, having length \(L\), radius \(r\). If \(X\) is the resistance of wire, then specific resistance is: \(S_1=X\left(\frac{\pi r^2}{L}\right)\). If the length of the wire gets doubled then the value of specific resistance will be :

  1. A  \(\frac{S_1}{4}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~S}_1\)
  3. C  \(\frac{S_1}{2}\)
  4. D  \(S_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)  \(S_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As specific resistance does not depends on dimension of wire so, it will not change.
