Question:

The resistivity of an iron wire is $10 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$. The resistance of an iron wire is $5 \Omega$. If its length as well as thickness is doubled then its resistivity will be:

Options:

$10 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$

$20 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$

$5 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$

$40 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$

Correct Answer:

$10 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $10 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m$
