MCQ
Two conductors of same length are connected in parallel as shown in figure. Their cross-sectional areas $A_1$ and $A_2$ and their resistivities are ${\rho _1}$ and  ${\rho _2}$ respectively. The equivalent resistivity of this combination is
  • A
    $\frac{{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} - {A_2}} \right)}}{{{A_1}{\rho _2} + {A_2}{\rho _1}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} + {A_2}} \right)}}{{{A_1}{\rho _1} + {A_2}{\rho _2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} - {A_2}} \right)}}{{{A_1}{\rho _1} + {A_2}{\rho _2}}}$
  • $\frac{{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} + {A_2}} \right)}}{{{A_1}{\rho _2} + {A_2}{\rho _1}}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{{{\rho _1}{\rho _2}\left( {{A_1} + {A_2}} \right)}}{{{A_1}{\rho _2} + {A_2}{\rho _1}}}$
d
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}$

$\frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}+\mathrm{A}_{2}}{\rho_{\mathrm{eq}} \ell}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}}{\rho_{1} \ell}+\frac{\mathrm{A}_{2}}{\rho_{2} \ell}$

$\rho_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\rho_{1} \rho_{2}\left(\mathrm{A}_{1}+\mathrm{A}_{2}\right)}{\rho_{2} \mathrm{A}_{1}+\rho_{1} \mathrm{A}_{2}}$
