Resistivity

hey frnds.... facing a bit of confusion in the concept dat..... when the length of the rod of resisitivity ρ is doubled, what will be the change in the resistance (initially length = l and area of cross-section = A)

on doubling the length of the rod, will the area or the radius of cross-section become halved... plz explain....

volume is constant (so when length is doubled area is halved)

hw can u be sure abt it dat area is halved.... can' t it be dat radius is halved.....

see the quantity of the wire remains the same..
so its Volume (V) has to remain constant..

and V = length * area of cross section

so inverse relation between length and area of cross section

hope now u got it cleared.

apply,

A1L1=A2L2 (AS VOLUME REMAINS CONSTANT)

WHERE A1 IS INITIAL AREA OF CROSS SECTION AND L1 IS INITIAL LENGTH OF ROD.

A2 IS NEW AREA OF CROSS SECTION AND L2 IS NEW LENTH OF ROD.

ACC. TO QUESTION ----

A1L1=A2.2L1

A2A1=12 ............................EQ.n 1

SO , NEW AREA OF CROSS-SECTION BECOMES HALF OF INITIAL AREA AND NEW RADIUS BECOMES 12 TIMES OF INITIAL RADIUS..

NOW,

RINTIAL = p L1A1

RNEW = p L2A2 (BECAUSE AS NATURE OF MATERIAL REMAINS SAME RESISTIVITY REMAINS SAME)

RNEW= p 2L1A2

RINITIAL RNEW =12 A2A1

RINITIAL RNEW= 12.12 (FROM EQ.n 1)

RINITIAL RNEW=14

RNEW=4.RINITIAL
SO , NEW RESISTANCE BECOMES 4 TIMES OF INITIAL RESISTANCE BY DOUBLING THE LENGTH OF ROD.......
