What equal length of an iron wire and a copper-nickel alloy wire, each of 2 mm diameter connected parallel to give an equivalent resistance of 3 Ω?
(Given resistivities of iron and copper-nickel alloy wire are 12 μΩ cm and 51 μΩ cm respectively)
  1. 97 m
  2. 110 m
  3. 90 m
  4. 82 m

Solution

R1R2R1+R2=3 Ω

ρ1ρ2ρ1+ρ2×A=3 Ω=3×A×ρ1+ρ2ρ1ρ2=3×π1032×63×10812×10-851×10897 m
