    A fuse wire with a circular cross-section and having diameter of 0.4 mm blows with a current of 3 A. The value of current for which another fuse wire made of the same material but having circular cross-section with diameter of 0.6 mm will blow is

    A)  3 A                                        

    B)  \[3\times \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}A\]

    C)   \[3\times {{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{3/2}}A\]                

    D)  \[3\times \frac{3}{2}A\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Relation for fuse wire is \[{{i}^{2}}\propto {{r}^{3}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{{{i}_{1}}}{{{i}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{3}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{3}{{{i}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{0.4}{0.6} \right)}^{3}}\] \[{{\left( \frac{3}{{{i}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)}^{3/2}}\] \[{{i}_{2}}=3\times {{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{3/2}}A\]
