Question:

The resistance of a wire is R What will be its new resistance ($R_{new}$), if it is stretched to n times its original length?

Options:

$R_{new} = nR$

$R_{new} = n^2R$

$R_{new} = R$

$R_{new} = R/n^2$

Correct Answer:

$R_{new} = n^2R$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $R_{new} = n^2R$
