    How many turns of a nichrome wire 1 mm in diameter should be wound around a porcelain cylinder with radius 2.5 cm to obtain a furnace with a resistance of 2050? (p for nichrome = \[1.0\times {{10}^{6}}cm\])

    A)  50                         

    B)         100  

    C)  150                       

    D)         200

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let \[{{r}_{1}}\] be the radius of porcelein cylinder and\[N\]be the number of turns required, then                 \[l=2\pi {{r}_{1}}N\] Let \[{{r}_{2}}\] be the radius of wire, then                 \[A=\pi {{r}_{2}}^{2}\] We know,           \[R=\rho \frac{l}{A}=\rho \frac{2{{\pi }_{1}}N}{\pi {{r}_{2}}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[N=\frac{R{{r}_{2}}^{2}}{2\rho {{r}_{1}}}=\frac{20\times {{(0.5\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}}{2\times {{10}^{-6}}\times (2.5\times {{10}^{-2}})}=100\]
