Masses of three wires of copper are in the ratio of 1 : 3 : 5 and their lengths are in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 1. The ratio of their electrical resistance are: |
1 : 3 : 5 5 : 3 : 1 1 : 15 : 125 125 : 15 : 1 |
125 : 15 : 1 |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 125 : 15 : 1 Resistance (R) of a wire is $R=ρ\frac{L}{A}=ρ\frac{L^2}{V}$ $A=\frac{V}{L}$ $R=\frac{ρdL^2}{M}$ [D = Density, $d =\frac{mass}{volume}$] and, density of all the copper is same. $∴R_1:R_2:R_3=\frac{5^2}{1}:\frac{3^2}{3}:\frac{1^2}{5}$ $=125:15:1$ |
