A wire of a certain material is stretched slowly by ten percent. Its new resistance and specific resistance become respectively
- both remain the same
- 1.1 times, 1.1 times
- 1.2 times, 1.1 times
- 1.21 times, same
Answer
(4) 1.21 times, same
Solution
Volume remains constant: l' = 1.1 l A' = A1.1
R = lA R' = (1.1 l)A/1.1 = 1.21 R
Specific resistance (resistivity) depends only on the material and temperature, so it remains the same.
Answer: (4)
