Two metal wires of same length, same area of crosssection have conductivities of their material ₁ and ₂ . If they are connected in series, the effective conductivity is
Options
- A₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂
- B2 ₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂
- C₁ ₂ ₁- ₂
- D₁ ₂ ₁- ₂
Correct answer
B. 2 ₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂
Step-by-step solution
If they are connected in series, then aligned & R_ e q =R₁+R₂ & L+L _ e q A = L ₁ A + L ₂ A & 2 _ e q = 1 ₁ + 1 ₂ _ e q = 2 ₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂ aligned
