Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 396

Question: A rod of a certain metal is 1.0 m long and 0.6 cm in diameter. Its resistance is 3.0 × $ {{10}^{-3}} $ ohm. Another disc made of the same metal is 2.0 cm in diameter and 1.0 mm thick. What is the resistance between the round faces of the disc

[MP PET 2000]

Options:

A) $ \text{1}.\text{35 }\times ~{{10}^{-8}}hm $

B) 2.70 × $ {{10}^{-7}} $ ohm

C) 4.05 × $ {{10}^{-6}} $ ohm

D) 8.10 × $ {{10}^{-5}} $ ohm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Resistivity of the material of the rod $ \rho =\frac{RA}{l}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{-3}}\pi {{(0.3\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}}{1} $ = $ 27\times {{10}^{-9}}\pi ,\Omega \times m $ Resistance of disc $ R=\frac{(\text{Thickness})}{(\text{Area of cross },\text{section})} $ = $ 27\times {{10}^{-9}}\pi \times \frac{({{10}^{-3}})}{\pi \times {{(1\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}} $

$ =2.7\times {{10}^{-7}}\Omega . $
