Question

a cooper wire of resistance r0 is stretched till its length is increased to n times of its original length.what will be its new resistance?

Solution

let the length of wire is l and its resistance is r0now R= ρlA, Where ρ= restivity ,l = length, a= area now according to question: r0 = ρlAnow it we increase the length to n times then volume of wire must be constant a×l =ANEW ×nlANEW =a×l nl= an.....................1>new resistance R = ρnlAnew= ρnlan= ρn2la= n2( ρlA)= n2r0hence new resistance(R) = n2r0.
