Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If v 1 and v 2 are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity if the combination is:
Options
- Aσ 1 + σ 2 2 σ 1 σ 2
- Bσ 1 + σ 2 σ 1 σ 2
- Cσ 1 σ 2 σ 1 + σ 2
- D2 σ 1 σ 2 σ 1 + σ 2
Correct answer
D. 2 σ 1 σ 2 σ 1 + σ 2
Step-by-step solution
R e c = l σ 1 A + l σ 1 A = l e q σ e q A e q 2 l σ e q A = l A σ 1 + σ 2 σ 1 σ 2 σ e q = 2 σ 1 σ 2 σ 1 + σ 2
