Explanations & Calculations
- If the diameter of the rod is d and the new length of the drawn wire is L, then equalling the volume of both the products, the new length can be calculated.
VV1V25d2L=πr2l=π(2d)2.l∝d2l∝d2.5m⋯(1)∝(10d)2.L⋯(2)=102d2.L=500m
- Resistance of the rod/wire is given by
R=Aρl=πr2ρl=π4d2ρl∝d2l
- Then the resistance of the rod is
0.02Ω∝d25
R∝(10d)2500∝d2500×100
- On division of the two equations
0.02RR=100×100=200Ω
