    A wire of length L is drawn such that its diameter is reduced to half of its original diameter. If the initial resistance of the wire were 10\[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\], its new resistance would be:

    A)  40\[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m}}\]         

    B)                        80\[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{3k}{m}}\]                

    C)  120\[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\]                

    D)        160\[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: On stretching the wire, its volume remains same. For a wire of length I, area A, specific resistance?, the resistance is given by           \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m}}\]                                             .....(1) If original diameter of wire be d, then new diameter is \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{3k}{m}}\]. Original area of cross-section is \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\] and final area of cross-section is \[\pi \]. Since, volume remains constant, on pulling the wire we have \[{{Q}^{2}}(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}})\] \[-{{Q}^{2}}(4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}})\] \[{{Q}^{2}}/(2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}})\]   \[2\mu F\] Also  \[{{T}_{2}}>{{T}_{1}}\] \[3q/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]   \[2q/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\] Hence, new resistance \[q/{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\]
