Vedclass · Answer

(A) The resistance of a wire is given by $R = ho \frac{L}{A} = ho \frac{L}{\pi r^2}$.Since mass $M = 	ext{density} 	imes 	ext{volume} = d 	imes \pi r^2 L$ is constant,$L \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$.Substituting $L$,we get $R \propto \frac{1}{r^2 \cdot r^2} = \frac{1}{r^4}$.Therefore,$\frac{R_A}{R_B} = \left( \frac{r_B}{r_A} ight)^4 = \left( \frac{1}{2} ight)^4 = \frac{1}{16}$.This implies $R_B = 16 R_A$.When $A$ and $B$ are connected in parallel,the equivalent resistance $R_{eq}$ is given by:$R_{eq} = \frac{R_A R_B}{R_A + R_B} = \frac{R_A (16 R_A)}{R_A + 16 R_A} = \frac{16}{17} R_A$.If $R_A = 4.25 \, \Omega$,then $R_{eq} = \frac{16}{17} 	imes 4.25 = 4 \, \Omega$.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ are made of the same material and have the same mass. The radius of wire $A$ is twice the radius of wire $B$. If wires $A$ and $B$ are connected in parallel,the equivalent resistance will be:
