Two wires A and B of the same material have their lengt
| Two wires A and B of the same material have their lengths in the ratio 1:2 and cross-section areas in the ratio 2:3. If the resistance of wire A be 12 Ω then calculate the resistance of wire B?
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is:
SOLUTION
Let Length of wires A and B be x and 2x
Let Area of cross -section A and B be 2y and 3y respectively.
For wire A,
12=ρ×x2y⇒24=ρ×xyAnd, RB=ρ×2x3y=24×23=16Ω
