Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 325

Question: The resistivity of iron is $ 1\times {{10}^{-7}},ohm-m $ . The resistance of a iron wire of particular length and thickness is 1 ohm. If the length and the diameter of wire both are doubled, then the resistivity in $ ohm-m $ will be

[CPMT 1983; DPMT 1999]

Options:

A) $ 1\times {{10}^{-7}} $

B) $ 2\times {{10}^{-7}} $

C) $ 4\times {{10}^{-7}} $

D) $ 8\times {{10}^{-7}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Resistivity of some material is its intrinsic property and is constant at particular temperature. Resistivity does not depend upon shape.
