A wire of a certain material is stretched slowly by ten percent. Its new resistance and specific resistance become respectively

  1. both remain the same
  2. 1.1 times, 1.1 times
  3. 1.2 times, 1.1 times
  4. 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)
