A cylindrical conductor of length ‘l’ and uniform area of cross section 'A' has resistance 'R'. The area of cross section of another conductor of same material and same resistance but of length '2l’ is
Parameters of cylinder A: Length = l, Area of cross-section = A, Resistance = R and resistivity = ρ
Parameters of cylinder B: Length = 2l, Area of cross-section = A’ (To be calculated); Resistance = R and resistivity = ρ
