    The external diairueter of a 314 m long copper tube is 1.2 cm and the internal diameter is 1 cm. Calculate its resistance if the specific resistance of copper is\[2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega -m\]

    A)  \[5.0\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]

    B)  \[4.4\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]

    C)  \[3.14\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]

    D)  \[2.2\times {{10}^{-2}}\Omega \]

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

     Given, length \[l=314m\] Specific resistance \[p=2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega -m\] External diameter \[{{D}_{1}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] Internal diameter \[{{D}_{2}}=1\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] As resistance of tube \[R=\frac{\rho l}{A}\] Or \[R=\frac{\rho l}{\pi [D_{1}^{2}-D_{2}^{2}]}\] \[[\because A=\pi {{r}^{2}}]\] Or \[R=\frac{4\times 2.2\times {{10}^{-8}}\times 314}{\pi [{{(1.2)}^{2}}-{{(1.0)}^{2}}]\times {{10}^{-4}}}\] \[=0.2\,\Omega \]
