  1. Question 1

    2024

    36 (b)
    (i) When is the potential difference between two points said to be 1 volt ? (ii) A copper wire has a diameter of 0⋅20{\cdot}2 mm and resistivity of 1⋅6×10−8 Ω1{\cdot}6 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega m. What will be the length of this wire to make its resistance 14 Ω14\,\Omega ? How much does the resistance change, if the diameter of the wire is doubled ?
  2. Question 2
