A wire of 1Ω1Ω has a length of 1m1m. It is stretched till its length increases by 2525 %. The percentage change in resistance to the nearest integer is :

Options

  1. A12.512 . 5 %
  2. B7676 %
  3. C2525 %
  4. D5656 %

Correct answer

D. 5656 %

Step-by-step solution

{R}_{0} = 1Ω{R}_{1} =</p><p></p><p>{ℓ}_{0} = 1m{ℓ}_{1} = 1 . 25m</p><p></p><p>{A}_{0} = A</p><p>Asvolumeofwireremainsconstantso</p><p></p><p>As volume of wire remains constant so</p><p>{A}_{0}{ℓ}_{0} = {A}_{1}{ℓ}_{1} ⇒ {A}_{1} = \dfrac{{ℓ}_{0}{A}_{0}}{{ℓ}_{1}}</p><p>Now,Resistance(R)=ρℓA</p><p>Now, Resistance \left(R\right) = \dfrac{ρℓ}{A}

R0R1=ℓ0/A0ρℓ1/A1\dfrac{{R}_{0}}{{R}_{1}} = \dfrac{{ℓ}_{0} / {A}_{0}}{ρ{ℓ}_{1} / {A}_{1}}

1R1=ℓ0A0(ℓ0A0ℓ1×ℓ1)R1=ℓ12ℓ02=1.5625Ω\dfrac{1}{{R}_{1}} = \dfrac{{ℓ}_{0}}{{A}_{0}}\left(\dfrac{{ℓ}_{0}{A}_{0}}{{ℓ}_{1} \times {ℓ}_{1}}\right){R}_{1} = {ℓ}_{1}^{2}{ℓ}_{0}^{2} = 1 . 5625Ω

So % change in resistance

=R1−R0R0×100= \dfrac{{R}_{1} - {R}_{0}}{{R}_{0}} \times 100 %

=1.5625−11×100= \dfrac{1 . 5625 - 1}{1} \times 100 %

=56.25= 56 . 25 %
