Question

The value of resistance gets doubled if its length is _______ (keeping other parameters constant).

A.

unaltered

B.

squared

C.

doubled

D.

halved

Correct option is C

​​The correct answer is: (C). doubled
The resistance R of a conductor is given by the formula:
                      R=ρLAR = \rho \frac{L}{A}
Where:
  • R is the resistance,
  • ρ is the resistivity of the material (constant),
  • L is the length of the conductor,
  • A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
From the formula, it is clear that resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. Therefore, if the length L is doubled, the resistance will also double, provided other factors (like material and cross-sectional area) remain constant.
Thus, when the length is doubled, the resistance also doubles.
