The resistance of a wire is \(20 \Omega\). It is stretched, so that the length becomes three times, then the new resistance of the wire will be

  1. A \(200 \Omega\)
  2. B \(160 \Omega\)
  3. C \(120 \Omega\)
  4. D \(180 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(180 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial resistance, \(R_l=20 \Omega \Rightarrow \frac{\rho l_l}{A_l}=20\)....(i) Now, \(\quad l_2=3 l_1\) \(\because\) Volume remains same.…
