    A metallic wire of400, resistance will be double its length. Its new resistance will be

    A) 20\[\Omega \]                

    B)        80\[\Omega \]       

    C) 160\[\Omega \]    

    D) 320\[\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Volume of the wire remains constant. \[Al={{A}_{1}}{{l}_{1}}\] We have,\[{{l}_{1}}\]=\[2l\] and \[{{A}_{1}}=\frac{A}{2}\] Using \[{{R}_{1}}=\rho \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\] \[=\rho \frac{2l}{{}^{A}/{}_{2}}\] \[=4\rho \frac{1}{A}\] \[=4\times R\] \[\therefore {{R}_{1}}=4\times 40\Omega \] \[=160\,\Omega \]
