A wire of resistivity p is stretched to double its length . What will be its new resistivity ?
There will be no change in resistivity because resistivity doesnt depend upon length and area of cross-section of wire. Resistivity only depends on nature of material..
Resistivity = ρ
The resistance is doubled as = R ∝ l
So,
It's resistivity will remain same;
ρ
∴,
New resistivity = ρ
- -1
