How does the resistance of a wire change when:
its material is changed to one whose resistivity is three times?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Resistance,
`R=l/A`
where l = length of wire
A= area of cross-section of the wire
When the material is changed to one whose resistivity is three times:
`R=(3rho)/A=3R`
