Solution
The correct option is Br2−r1r1r2ρ4π
Given, Radii of the concentric sphere s, r1 and r2 [r1<r2] Resistivity of the material=ρ As we know, Resistance can be given by the formula, R=ρlA In this case, length of the resistor here it's radius, l=r and Area of the spherical resistor, A=4πr2 ∴R=ρdr4πr2
[where r is any radius and dr is small element]
Total resistance,
R=ρ4π∫r2r1drr2 ⇒R=ρ4π[−1r]r2r1 ⇒R=ρ4π[1r1−1r2]
⇒R=[r2−r1r1r2]ρ4π Hence, the correct option is (B)
