What will be the resistivity of a wire if it is stretched to double of its original length without loss of mass?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 17th Apr, 2014, 01:49: PM
Expert Answer:
The resistivity of a wire depends on the nature of material but not on its dimensions. Thus, the increase in length of the wire will not affect its resistivity.
