356949 Two wires of the same metal have same length, but their cross-sections are in the ratio 3:1. They are joined in series. The resistance of thicker wire is $10 Ω$ .The total resistance of the combination will be

1

20 Ω

2

10 Ω

3

100 Ω

4

40 Ω

Explanation:

Length of each wire $= ℓ;$ Area of thick wire $(A_{1}) = 3 A;$ Area of thin wire $(A_{2}) = A$ and resistance of thick wire $(R_{1}) = 10 Ω$ Resistance
$(R) = ρ \frac{ℓ}{A}$
$\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}} = \frac{A}{3 A} = \frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow R_{2} = 3 R_{1} = 3 \times 10 = 30 Ω$
The equivalent resistance of these two resistors in series $= R_{1} + R_{2} = 30 + 10 = 40 Ω .$

Explanation:

Resistance of 1 ohm group $= \frac{R}{n} = \frac{1}{3} Ω$
This is in series with $\frac{5}{3} Ω$ resistor.
$∴$ Total resistance $= \frac{5}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} Ω = 2 Ω$

3

\frac{R}{4}

\frac{R}{16}

Explanation:

Resistance, $R = \frac{ρ l}{A}$ or $R \propto l$
$∴ \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{L}{L / 4} = 4$
$\Rightarrow R_{2} = \frac{R}{4} (∵ R_{1} = R)$
In parallel combination of such four
resistances,
$\frac{1}{R^{'}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + \frac{1}{R_{3}} + \frac{1}{R_{4}}$
$or \frac{1}{R^{'}} = \frac{1}{R / 4} + \frac{1}{R / 4} + \frac{1}{R / 4} + \frac{1}{R / 4}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{R^{'}} = \frac{4}{R} + \frac{4}{R} + \frac{4}{R} + \frac{4}{R}$
$∴ \frac{1}{R^{'}} = \frac{16}{R} \Rightarrow R^{'} = \frac{R}{16}$
