The “resistance of a wire” after stretched is 16 ohm.
Given:
Resistance of wire (r) = 4 ohm
Stretched to twice of its length.
To find:
The resistance of the wire after stretching (R) = ?
Solution:
The resistance of the wire is “directly proportional to” the square in length of wire.
So, if the length is stretched to twice then the resistance gets multiplied by four times.
R = 4r
R = 4×4
R = 16 ohm
Answer:
4*4=16
Explanation:
The resistance of the wire is “directly proportional to” the square in length of wire. So, if the length is stretched to twice then the resistance gets multiplied by four times.
