The following table gives the length, diameter and applied potential difference of four copper wires, A, B, C and D, across their ends. Arrange the wires in correct order of the increasing electric field.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(C), (A), (B), (D) (A), (B), (C), (D) (B), (A), (D), (C) (D), (B), (C), (A) |
(D), (B), (C), (A) |
The correct answer is Option (4) → (D), (B), (C), (A) $E = \frac{V}{l}$ $\text{Wire A: } E_A = \frac{V}{l}$ $\text{Wire B: } E_B = \frac{V}{2l}$ $\text{Wire C: } E_C = \frac{2V}{3l}$ $\text{Wire D: } E_D = \frac{V}{3l}$ $\text{Compare: } \frac{V}{3l} < \frac{V}{2l} < \frac{2V}{3l} < \frac{V}{l}$ $E_D < E_B < E_C < E_A$ The correct order is D < B < C < A. |
