Solution

The correct option is B r2r1r1r2ρ4π
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=ρ4πr2r1drr2
R=ρ4π[1r]r2r1
R=ρ4π[1r11r2]

R=[r2r1r1r2]ρ4π
Hence, the correct option is (B)
