  • question_answer
    Two wires of equal diameters, of resistivities \[{{\rho }_{1}}\]and \[{{\rho }_{2}}\] and lengths l1 and l2, respectively, are joined in series.  The equivalent resistivity of the combination is                                                                                [EAMCET (Engg.) 2000]

    A)         \[\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{1}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\]

    B)         \[\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{2}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}-{{l}_{2}}}\]

    C)         \[\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{2}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\]

    D)                        \[\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{1}}-{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}-{{l}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                             \[{{R}_{1}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{1}}}{A}\,\text{and }{{R}_{2}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{A}\]. In series \[{{R}_{eq}}={{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}\]                                                    \[\frac{{{\rho }_{eq.}}({{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}})}{A}=\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{1}}}{A}+\frac{{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{A}\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,{{\rho }_{eq}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{l}_{1}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\].
