Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If \(\sigma_1~\text{and}~\sigma_2\)
1. | \(\frac{2\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\) | 2. | \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{2\sigma_1\sigma_2}\) |
3. | \(\frac{\sigma_1 +\sigma_2}{\sigma_1\sigma_2}\) | 4. | \(\frac{\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\) |
A wire of resistance \(4~\Omega\) is stretched to twice its original length. The resistance of a stretched wire would be:
1. | \(4~\Omega\) | 2. | \(8~\Omega\) |
3. | \(16~\Omega\) | 4. | \(2~\Omega\) |
