There are two wires of the same length and of the same material and radii $r$ and $2r$ . The ratio of their specific resistance is
A$1 : 2$
B$1 : 1$
C$1 : 4$
D$4 : 1$

B$1 : 1$
b The resistivity or specific resistance of a material is an intensive property and it is defined as a resistance offered by a unit length and unit cross section area of that material when a fixed voltage is applied across it. so the specific resistance only depends upon temperature and material not on physical properties like size and shape.
Hence $B$ is correct option.

Two wires of same metal have the same length but their cross-sections are in the ratio $3:1$. They are joined in series. The resistance of the thicker wire is $10\,\Omega $. The total resistance of the combination will be ............. $\Omega$
The terminal voltage of the battery, whose emf is $10 \mathrm{~V}$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$, when connected through an external resistance of $4 \Omega$ as shown in the figure is:
The length of a potentiometer wire is $\ell $. A cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\ell /3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\ell /2$ at what distance will the same cell give a balanced point
A wire of resitance $R$ and length $L$ is cut into $5$ equal part. if these parts are joined parts are joined paralley, than result resistance will be:
Consider the circuits shown in the figure. Both the circuits are taking same current from battery but current through $R$ in the second circuit is $\frac{1}{{10}}$$^{th}$ of current through $R$ in the first circuit. If $R$ is $11$ $\Omega$, the value of $ R_1$ ................ $\Omega$
Two square metal plates $A$ and $B$ are of the same thickness and material. The side of $B$ is twice that of $A$. These are connected as shown in series. If the resistances of $A$ and $B$ are denoted by $R_A$ and $R_B,$ then $(R_A/R_B)$ is
The figure shows a tetrahedron, each side of which has a resistance $r$ If a battery is connected between any two points of the tetrahedron, then identify the correct statement $(s)$.
