    Which of the following changes to a wire will double its resistance?                

    A)
    X-sectional area Length
    Double Double
                   

    B)                       
    X-sectional area Length
    Double No change
                   

    C)                       
    X-sectional area Length
    No change Half
                   

    D)                       
    X-sectional area Length
    Half No change

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its area of cross section. Therefore, reducing the area of cross section by half will double the resistance without any change in the length.
