The length of a given cylindrical wire is increased by100%. Due to the consequent decrease in diameter, the change in the resistance of the wire will be

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Givenl′=l+100% of l=2l

Initial volume = final volume

ie,πr2l=πr′2l′

⟹    r′2=r2ll′=r2×l2l

⟹     r′2=r22 

∴R′=ρl′A′=ρ2lπr′2      ∵R=ρlA

          =ρ4lπr2= 4R
=
Thus,∆R=R′-R=4R-R=3R

∴   %∆R=3RR×100%

                  =300%
