A cylindrical wire is compressed in length by 10%. The percentage decrease in the resistance will ..

Answer / Ali Asghar

As we know

R= p*L/A
if resistance decreased by 10 % it mean new resistance is
L'=0.9L
And Area is increased by 10 % because volume will remain constant so new area will be
A' = 1.1A
so
R'=p* .9L/1.1A =.9R/1.1=0.81R
so change in resistance is = 1-0.81=0.91=0.91*100 %= 19 %
so resistance decreased by 19%

Answer / Aamir Ali

Wire is compressed it means volume will be constant (V= Area

x Length) if length is decreased by 10% then area will
increase by 10% (Because volume is constant) suppose
l=length, a=area R=Resistance p=rho, Then R=p*(l/a)
Now if length is compressed by 10% then length=0.9*l and
area=1.1*a
Resistance=p*(.9l/1.1a)=0.8R
This means that Resistance will be decreased by 20%
