Two wires made of the same material have lengths in the ratio \(2: 3\) and radii in the ratio \(8: 9\). If the same potential difference is applied across the ends of the wires, the ratio of the electric currents flowing through them is

  1. A \(5: 6\)
  2. B \(6: 5\)
  3. C \(4: 3\)
  4. D \(32: 27\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(32: 27\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ratio of length, \(\frac{\ell_1}{\ell_2}=\frac{2}{3}\) Ratio of radii, \(\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{8}{9}\) Resistance of wire is given as, \(R=\rho \frac{\ell}{A}\) Resistance of \(\mathrm{I}^{\text {st }}\) wire, \(\mathrm{R}_1=\rho \frac{\ell_1}{\mathrm{~A}_1}\)…
