A Copper (Cu) rod of length 25 cm and cross-sectional area 3 mm2 is joined with a similar Aluminium (Al) rod as shown in figure. Find the resistance of the combination between the ends A and B.

(Take resistivity of Copper =1.7×10-8 Ωm, Resistivity of aluminium =2.6×10-8 Ωm)

  1. 2.170 
  2. 1.420 
  3. 0.0858 
  4. 0.858 

Solution

R=R1R2R1+R2=A·ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2
R=25×10-23×10-6×1.7×2.6×10-164.3×10-8
R=0.858
