Question
A silver wire of length 10 metre and cross-sectional area 10-8 m2 is suspended vertically and a weight of 10 N is attached to it. Young′s modulus of silver and its resistivity are 7 × 1010 N/m2 and 1.59 × 10-8 Ω-m respectively. The increase in its resistance is equal to (keeping volume constant)
Options
A.0.0455 Ω
B.0.455 Ω
C.0.91 Ω
D.0.091 Ω
