    A wire of resistance R is doubled by stretching. What will be the resistance of half of this stretched wire?

    A) \[\frac{R}{2}\]    

    B) R

    C) 2R                                         

    D) 4R

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When the length is doubled, the area of cross section is reduced to half, because of the constant volume. The resistance of the wire due to these two becomes four times. Half of the wire will have a resistance of 2R.
