  1. A 2%
  2. B 4%
  3. C 3%
  4. D 12%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resistance of a uniform wire is given by, R=ρLA. As volume will remain constant, therefore, AL=V⇒A=VL So we can write resistance as, R=ρLVL=ρVL2 Now for small changes we can write,…
