MCQ On Relation Between Resistance And Length

Education Journalist | Study Abroad Lead

The relation between length and resistivity is given by the resistivity formula ρ = RA/l. Resistance is directly proportional to the length which means that any change in the length of the material will directly change its value of resistance. Relation between Resistance and Length MCQs are given as below.

Ques. What is the formula for resistivity?

ρ = RI/A
ρ = A/lR
ρ = RA/l
ρ = R/lA

Click here for the answer

Ans. c. ρ = RA/l

Explanation: ρ, is quantitatively equal to the resistance R of a specimen such as a wire, multiplied by its cross-sectional area A, and divided by its length l; ρ = RA/l.
