Question #244188

A piece of silver wire has a resistance of 1.0Ω. What will be the resistance of a manganin wire; 

one-third the length and one-third the diameter if the resistivity of manganin is 30 times that of silver.

For aluminium wire

Resistance=R

Length=L

Resistivity=ρ\rho

Diameter=D

Area (A)=πD24\frac{\pi D^2}{4}


For mangnin wire

Resistance=R'

Length(L')=L3\frac{L}{3}

Resistivity (ρ\rho' )=30ρ30\rho

Diameter D'=D3\frac{D}{3}

R=ρlAR=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Area(A')=πD236\frac{\pi D^2}{36}

RR=30ρ×L3πD236ρ×LπD24\frac{R'}{R}=\frac{\frac{30\rho\times{\frac{L}{3}}}{\frac{\pi D^2}{36}}}{\frac{\rho\times{L}}{\frac{\pi D^2}{4}}}

RR=90R=90R\frac{R'}{R}=90\\R'=90R
