Q.

A wire of length 25 m and cross-sectional area 5 mm2 having resistivity of 2×106Ωm is bent into a complete circle. The resistance between diametrically opposite points will be         [2025]

1 12.5 Ω  
2 50 Ω  
3 100 Ω  
4 25 Ω  

Ans.

(none)

Let R be total resistance across ends of wire, then

R=ρLA=2×106×255×106=10Ω

Req=R4=104=2.5Ω
