Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which copper wire has the lowest resistance?
A
1 meter of 1 mm diameter wire
B
0.5 meter of 1 mm diameter wire
C
0.5 meter of 0.5 mm diameter wire
D
1 meter of 0.5 mm diameter wire
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: A short thick copper wire at 25 degree Celsius has lower resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -A copper wire has diameter 0.5 mm and resistivity of 1.6×10−8 m.

Detailed explanation-3: -R=85 Q. Determine the resistance of a copper wire having a length of 1km and diameter of 0.5mm. Resisivity of copper =1.7×10−3m.

Detailed explanation-4: -A copper wire has a diameter of 0.5mm and resistivity of 1.6 x 10-8 m. The length of this wire to make its resistance 10 is 122.7 m. The resistance change if the diameter is doubled is 2.5 . As a result, resistance will only be one-fourth as strong when the diameter is doubled.
