Area of cross section of a conductor is increased two times if its resistance is 20 ohm. Find the new resistance.

Resistance R =
, where ρ is resistivity, L is length and A is area of cross section.
![begin mathsize 12px style rho L over A end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/5e5e912da7d54437376dc9b5dd5bca2e.png)
we have
= 20Ω.

if cross section area is doubled,then new resitance R' = ![begin mathsize 12px style rho fraction numerator L over denominator 2 A end fraction space equals space 1 half rho L over A space equals space 1 half cross times 20 space equals space 10 capital omega end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/b22028dc2aa2b618085ca70b3b84864e.png)

it is assumed the cross section is doubled by keeping the length same.
