12. RESISTANCE DEPENDS ON
1.Length of the conductor
2.Area of cross section of the conductor
3.Nature of material of the conductor
4.Temperature of material of the
conductor
17. RESISTANCE , RESISTIVITY Vs Temperature
Both Resistance and Resistivity of the
material depend on Temperature
Resistance of all pure metals increases
with increase in temperature
But the resistance of alloys such as
Manganin, Nichrome is almost
unaffected by temperature
19. RESISTANCE , RESISTIVITY Vs Temperature
Both Resistance (R) and Resistivity (ρ) of
the material depend on Temperature
Resistance of all pure metals increases with
increase in temperature
But the resistance of alloys such as
Manganin, Nichrome is almost unaffected by
temperature
Insulators decrease their resistance with
increase in temperature
21. Problems
• Q1,Resistance of a metal
wire of length 1m is 100 ohm.
If the diameter of the wire is
0.2mm, what will be the
resistivity of the metal at the
temperature?
22. Answer
L=1m ; R=100 ohm ; d=0.2mm
𝜌 =
𝑅𝐴
𝑙
=
𝑅
𝑙
𝜋r2 (Since r=d/2)
= R x 𝜋d2/4
=100x3.14x(0.2x10-3)2 /4
=100x3.14x0.04x10-6/4
=3.14x4x10-6/4
𝜌 =3.14x10-6 ohm m
23. Question
A wire of given material having
length l and area of cross section
A has a resistance of 4 ohm.
What would be the resistance of
another wire of the same material
having length l/2 and area of
cross section 2A?
24. Answer
For first wire,
R1 = 𝜌 l/A= 4ohm
Now for second wire,
R2 =𝜌(l/2)/2A= ¼ 𝜌 l/A.
R2 = ¼ R1
R2 = 1ohm.
The resistance of the new wire is 1 ohm.
25. Question
A wire of resistance 2 ohm
is stretched to double its
length. What is the new
resistance of the wire?
What is the change in
resistivity of the wire?
26. Answer
When the length of the wire is
doubled, still its volume remains
constant.
Volume before stretching = A1 l1
Volume after stretching =A2l2
Since volume is constant
27. A1 l1 = A2 l2
Given l2 = 2l1
Therefore,
A1 l1=A2 x 2l1
A1=2A2
A2=A1 / 2
28. So, when the length is doubled, the
area of cross section is reduced by
½.
So the new resistance would be
RI = 𝜌l2/A2 = 𝜌 2l1/(A1/2) = 4 𝜌 l1/A1RI
=4 R
=4 x 2 ohm
RI = 8ohm.
29. Question
The electric resistance of a certain wire of iron is R. If
its length and radius are both double, then
a) The resistance will be doubled and the specific
resistance will be halved.
b) The resistance will be halved and the specific
resistance will remain unchanged.
c) The resistance will be halved and the specific
resistance will be doubled.
d) The resistance and the specific resistance will
both remain unchanged.
40. RESISTORS IN SERIES
When several resistors are joined in series,
the resistance of the combination is always
equal to the sum of their individual
resistances
Effective resistance is always greater than
any individual resistance
42. Question
A, what will be current in ammeter?
B, what will be voltage across 12 ohm resistor?
V
A
5V
5ohm 12ohm8ohm
43. Answer
A,
All resistors are connected in series. So,
Effective resistance Rs = R1 +R2 +R3
Rs= 5+8+12
=25ohm
By applying ohms law
V=IR
I=V/R (V=5V; R=25ohm)
I=5/25
I=1/5 A
44. B,
Voltage across 12 ohm resistor will be,
Since the same current flows through all
resistors and it was found to be 5A in
ammeter.
Again apply ohms law V=IR
V=1/5 x 12
=12/5
V across 12 ohm resistor =2.4V
