Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3125 Ω
Concept:
The resistance of a wire is given by \(R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}\)
Where ρ is the resistivity of the material
l is length
A is the cross-sectional area
\(A = \frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4}\) for a given diameter of d.
Calculation:
Given that, the resistance of a wire (R1) = 5 Ω
\(\Rightarrow {R_1} = \frac{{4\rho {l_1}}}{{\pi d_1^2}}\)
Now it further drawn so that its diameter becomes one-fifth of the original.
\(\Rightarrow {d_2} = \frac{1}{5}{d_1}\)
As the volume remains the same, we have
\({A_1}{l_1} = {A_2}{l_2}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{\pi d_1^2{l_1}}}{4} = \frac{{\pi d_2^2{l_2}}}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2}}} = \frac{{d_2^2}}{{d_1^2}} = \frac{1}{{25}}\)
\({R_2} = \frac{{4\rho {l_2}}}{{\pi d_2^2}} = \frac{{4\rho \left( {25{l_1}} \right)}}{{\pi \left( {\frac{{d_1^2}}{{25}}} \right)}} = 625 \times \frac{{4\rho {l_1}}}{{\pi d_1^2}} = 625{R_1}\)
New resistance (R2) = 625R1 = 625 × 5 = 3125 Ω
Alternate method:
\(R = \frac{{\rho l}}{A}\)
Multiply and divide by area,
\(R = \rho \frac{{lA}}{{{A^2}}} = \rho \frac{V}{{{A^2}}}\)
Where V is volume.
Here, ρ and V are constant.
\(\Rightarrow R \propto \frac{1}{{{A^2}}} \propto \frac{1}{{{d^4}}}\)
\(\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}} \right)^4}\)
⇒ R2 = 625R1 = 625 × 5 = 3125 Ω
