Question

A resistance wire of 6Ω is cut into four equal parts . What is the resistance of each part?


Open in App
Solution

  • Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor
  • When length increases , the resistance also increases
  • When the resistor is divided into four equal parts , the length decreases by a fraction of14
  • Total resistance , R = 6 Ω

Resistance of each piece =64

=1.5Ω

  • When the resistor is divided into four equal parts , each resistor gives 1.5Ω
