7. Consider two (1 and 2) silver wires both of which have constant circular cross sec-
tional areas ; we are given the data:
; diameter = d
Wire 2: length = 2L ; diameter = d/2 ; resistance = R,
Wire 1: length = L
resistance = R,
%3D
A potential difference ( V,) applied across wire 1 results in power dissipation of (P,)
and a potential difference ( V,) applied across wire 2 results in power dissipation of
(P,).
If P, = P, then which answer choice gives a correct set of comparisons?
a. R, > R, ; V,> V,
b. R, > R, ; V, < V,
c. R, = R, ; V, = V,
d. R2 <R, ; V,> V,
e. R2 <R, ; V, <V;
