Read the following and answer any 4 questions from 13 (i) to 13 (v).
13 A student wants to find out factors on which the resistance of a
conductor depends for this he connected an electric circuit
consisting of a cell, an ammeter, a nichrome wire of length l and a
plug key, as shown in Fig.

After completing the activity he found out that resistance of the

conductor depends (i) on its length, (ii) on its area of
cross-section, and (iii) on the nature of its material. Precise
measurements have shown that resistance of a uniform metallic
conductor is directly proportional to its length (𝜄) and inversely
proportional to the area of cross-section (A). That is,
R α 𝜄 /A

also varies with temperature. The above graph is plotted between
resistance and temperature.

correct.

a. For a resistance of 5.2 Ω, temperature is 500 C.
