Options:
A) Will be doubled in the experiment
B) Will be reduced by half
C) Will remain the same
D) Will be quadrupled.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ H\propto \frac{1}{R} $ (If V = constant)
Therefore $ ,\frac{H _{1}}{H _{2}}=\frac{R _{2}}{R _{1}} $
$ =\frac{l _{2}A _{1}}{l _{1}A _{2}} $
$ =\frac{l _{2}r _{1}^{2}}{l _{1}r _{2}^{2}} $
Therefore $ H _{2}=2H _{1} $
