JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 15)

A copper wire is stretched to make it 0.5% longer. The percentage change in its electrical resistance if its volume remains unchanged is :
2.0 %
2.5 %
1.0 %
0.5 %

Explanation

We know,

$$R = {{\rho l} \over A}$$

and Volume (V) = A$$l$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   A $$=$$ $${V \over l}$$

$$ \therefore $$   $$R = {{\rho {l^2}} \over v}$$

$$ \therefore $$   $${{\Delta R} \over R} = 2{{\Delta l} \over l}$$

$$=$$   2 $$ \times $$ 0.5

$$=$$ 1%
