Resistance R =
...............(1)
![begin mathsize 12px style rho L over A space equals rho fraction numerator L over denominator pi r squared end fraction equals rho L over pi 1 over r squared equals C over r squared end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/31ae1f5cac85ba0a0acd1c55bf7ee09b.png)
where ρ is resistivity of the material of the wire, L is length, A is crosssection area and r is radius.
C is constant because length and resistivity are not changed due to stretching of wire
By taking logarithm on both sides of (1), we get, ln R = ln C - 2 ln r ............(2)
by diferentiating (2), we get,
![begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator partial differential R over denominator R end fraction space equals space minus 2 fraction numerator partial differential r over denominator r end fraction end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/cedaa490c7662d494929e55cb38c9b6f.png)
![begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator partial differential R over denominator R end fraction cross times 100 space equals space minus 2 fraction numerator partial differential r over denominator r end fraction cross times 100 space equals space minus 2 cross times 0.1 percent sign space equals space minus 0.2 percent sign end style](https://images.topperlearning.com/topper/tinymce/cache/66949a99e1428bcd23fe25bce08822f4.png)
Hence resistance decrese by 0.2%
