Question
A wire of resistance 2 Ohm is stretched uniformly to twice its original length. The resistance of the new wire will be:
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Stretching conserves volume; doubling L halves A. R_new=4x(rho L/A)=4x2=8 Ohm.
Hint
Stretching conserves volume; doubling L halves A.
