Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If v1 and v2 are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity if the combination is:
  1. σ1+σ22 σ1 σ2
  2. σ1+σ2σ1 σ2
  3. σ1 σ2σ1+σ2
  4. 2 σ1 σ2σ1+σ2

Solution


Rec=lσ1A+lσ1A=leqσeqAeq
2lσeqA=lAσ1+σ2σ1σ2
σeq=2σ1σ2σ1+σ2
