    A wire of resistance \[5\Omega \]is drawn out so that its new length is 3 times its original length. What is the resistance of the new wire?

    A) \[45\,\Omega \]                              

    B)  \[15\,\Omega \]

    C)   \[5/3\,\,\Omega \]                                       

    D)  \[5\,\,\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Since, volume is constant, i.e., \[\pi _{1}^{2}{{l}_{1}}=\pi r_{2}^{2}{{l}_{2}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\left( \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}} \right)=\left( \frac{3l}{l} \right)=3\]                 Now,        \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{\rho \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{A}_{1}}}}{\rho \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{A}_{2}}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{l}_{1}}/r_{1}^{2}}{{{l}_{2}}/r_{2}^{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\times \frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{R}_{2}}=9{{R}_{1}}=9\times 5=45\,\Omega \]
