      What happens to resistance of a wire when its length is

      doubled (keeping area constant)?  
      A Doubled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Halved Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Quadrupled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Same Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Resistance R∝L, as per the formula R = ρ (L/A). So, if length becomes twice and cross sectional area stays same, resistance becomes 2R.   This relationship is critical in designing electric circuits and wires.   It also helps explain how electric heaters work.
