प्रश्न
How does the resistance of a wire vary with its:
diameter?
Advertisements
उत्तर
We know that the area of cross-section, A = πr2 = π (d / 2)2, where r is the radius and d is the diameter of the wire. So on increasing the diameter of the wire, its resistance decreases.

An electric iron is connected to the mains power supply of 220 V. When the electric iron is adjusted at 'minimum heating' it consumes a power of 360 W but at 'maximum heating' it takes a power of 840 W. Calculate the current and resistance in each case.
Three heaters each rated 250 W, 100 V are connected in parallel to a 100 V supply. Calculate:
- the total current taken from the supply
- the resistance of each heater and
- the energy supplied in kWh to the three heaters in 5 hours.
Give Scientific reason
In the electric equipment producing heat e.g. iron, electric heater, boiler, toaster etc, an alloy such as Nichrome is used, not pure metals.
