JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 25th January Evening Shift - No. 12)
The resistance of a wire is 5 $$\Omega$$. It's new resistance in ohm if stretched to 5 times of it's original length will be :
25
625
5
125
Explanation
$$ \mathrm{R}_{\text {initial }}=\frac{\rho \ell}{A}=5 \Omega $$
$\because$ Volume of wire is constant in stretching
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}} \\\\
& \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{i}} \ell_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{f}} \ell_{\mathrm{f}} \\\\
& \mathrm{A} \ell=\mathrm{A}^{\prime}(5 \ell) \\\\
& \mathrm{A}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{5} \\\\
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{\rho \ell_{\mathrm{f}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{f}}}=\frac{\rho(5 \ell)}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{5}\right)} \\\\
& =25\left(\frac{\rho \ell}{\mathrm{A}}\right) \\\\
& =25 \times 5=125 \Omega
\end{aligned}
