A cylindrical metallic wire is stretched to increase its length. If the resistance of the wire is increased by 4% then the percentage increase in its length is

  1. A 4%
  2. B 8%
  3. C 1%
  4. D 2%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the above case the volume and specific resistivity of the wire does not change, it means, V1=V2⇒πr12l1=πr22l2⇒r12r22=l2l1 Now recall the formula of resistance in terms of specific resistivity, R=ρ×lπr2…
