The resistance of a wire is $R$. If the length of the wire is doubled by stretching, then the new resistance will be
A$2R$
B$4R$
C$R$
D$R/4$

B$4R$
b $R \propto {l^2}$ $ \Rightarrow $ If $l$ doubled then $R$ becomes $4$ times.

The length of a given cylindrical wire is increased by $100 \%$. Due to the consequent decrease in diameter the change in the resistance of the wire will be .................. $\%$
The resistance of a wire is $R$. It is bent at the middle by $180^o$ and both the ends are twisted together to make a shorter wire. The resistance of the new wire is
Resistance $n$, each of $r\; ohm$, when connected in parallel give an equivalentresistance of $R\; ohm$. If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have a resistance in $ohms$, equal to
If resistivity of all four wire connected in parallel is different as given in figure and all other dimensions of wire are same then current $i$ is (resistance of wire having resistivity $\rho $ is $R_0$ )
In a typical Wheatstone network, the resistances in cyclic order are $A = 10 \,\Omega $, $B = 5 \,\Omega $, $C = 4 \,\Omega $ and $D = 4 \,\Omega $ for the bridge to be balanced
