Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 136

Question: The resistance of a wire is $ {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $ per metre. It is bend in the form of a circle of diameter $ 2,m $ . A wire of the same material is connected across its diameter. The total resistance across its diameter AB will be

Options:

A) $ \frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $

B) $ \frac{2}{3}\pi \times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $

C) $ 0.88\times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $

D) $ 14\pi \times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Resistance across $ AB=\frac{1}{R’}=\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{R _{1}} $

$ R _{1}=2\times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $ and $ R=\pi \times 1\times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $ On solving, $ R’=0.88\times {{10}^{-6}}\Omega $
