Resistance of a given wire of length 'L' is 42. The wire is stretched uniformly such that its length
becomes 3L. Find the new resistance of the stretched wire.

Solution
Here volume of the wire will be same  in both the condition hencevolume =A1 L1 = A2L2AL =A23LA2 =A3new area  of cross section of wire =A3   after changing length three times hence new resistance R=ρ3LA/3=9ρLA=9×42=378 ohm
