The resistance of a wire is \(R\) ohm. If it is melted and stretched to \(n\) times its original length, its new resistance will be:
1. | \(nR\) | 2. | \(\frac{R}{n}\) |
3. | \(n^2R\) | 4. | \(\frac{R}{n^2}\) |
Two solid conductors are made up of the same material and have the same length and the same resistance. One of them has a circular cross-section of area and the other one has a square cross-section of area . The ratio is:
1. | \(1.5\) | 2. | \(1\) |
3. | \(0.8\) | 4. | \(2\) |
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. | \(2~\Omega\) |
The specific resistance of a conductor increases with:
1. | increase in temperature. |
2. | increase in cross-section area. |
3. | increase in cross-section and decrease in length. |
4. | decrease in cross-section area. |
The plot of current \(I~\text{(A)}\) flowing through a metallic conductor versus the applied voltage \(V~\text{(volt)}\) across the ends of a conductor is:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
1. | \(T_{1}=T_{2}\) | 2. | \(T_{2}>T_{1}\) |
3. | \(T_{1}>T_{2}\) | 4. | nothing can be said |
The dependence of resistivity \((\rho)\) on the temperature \((T)\) of a semiconductor is, roughly, represented by:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
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. | \(\frac{\sigma_1 \sigma_2}{\sigma_1+\sigma_2}\) |
1. | directly proportional to \(b\) |
2. | inversely proportional to \(t\) |
3. | inversely proportional to \(L\) |
4. | both (1) and (2) |
