    If the length of a conductor is halved, then the conductance will be :

    A)  quadrupled    

    B)  doubled

    C)  halved        

    D)  unchanged

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Conductance of a conductor is reciprocal of its resistance. Conductance \[=\frac{1}{resistance}\] Since, resistance \[=\frac{\rho l}{A}\] \[\therefore \] Conductance \[\propto \frac{1}{length\text{ }of\text{ }conductor}\] Thus, when length of a conductor is halved, then its conductance will be doubled.
