    The length of a given cylindrical wire is increased by \[100%\]. Due to the consequent decrease in diameter, the change in the resistance of the wire will be     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2003

    A)                                         \[200%\]          

    B)                       \[100%\]                             

    C) \[50%\]                               

    D) \[300%\] 

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given: \[l'=l+100%\,l=2l\] Initial volume = Final volume i.e.,            \[\pi {{r}^{2}}l=\pi {{r}^{'2}}l'\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[r{{'}^{2}}=\frac{{{l}^{2}}l}{l'}={{r}^{2}}\times \frac{l}{2\,l}\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{r}^{2}}=\frac{{{r}^{2}}}{2}\] \[\therefore \]      \[R'=\rho \frac{l'}{A'}=\rho \frac{2\,l}{4\pi {{'}^{2}}}\]     \[\left( \because R=\frac{\rho l}{A} \right)\]                     \[=\frac{\rho .\,4l}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}=4R\] Thus,         \[\Delta R=R'-R=4R=3R\] \[\therefore \]  \[%\Delta R=\frac{3R}{R}\times 100%=300%\]
