  • question_answer
    A metal rod of Length 10 cm and a rectangular cross-section of \[\text{1}\,\text{cm }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\] is connected to a battery across opposite faces. The resistance will be: (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) maximum when the battery is connected across \[\text{1}\,\text{cm }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\] faces

    B) maximum when the battery is connected across \[\text{10}\,\text{cm }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}\,\text{cm}\]faces                                       

    C) maximum when the battery is connected across \[\text{10}\,\text{cm }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\frac{\text{1}}{2}\,\text{cm}\] faces                                     

    D) same irrespective of the three faces

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) maximum when the battery is connected across \[\text{1}\,\text{cm }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ }\frac{\text{1}}{2}\,\text{cm}\] faces                                           As \[R=\rho \frac{l}{A}\] resistance is maximum when l is large and A is least. For the given dimensions of wire, resistance will be maximum for l = 10 cm and \[A=1\,cm\times \frac{1}{2}cm\].
