Homework Statement
A cylindrical conductor of length l, diameter D and resistivity ρ has resistance R. A different
cylindrical conductor of resistivity 2ρ, length 2l and diameter 2D has a resistance
A. 2R.
B. R.
C. R/2.
D. R/4
Homework Equations
I assume its R = pL/A
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried putting 2p2L/2A into the equation getting 4/2 = 2 then dividing both sides by 2 to give R/2 but apparently the answer should be B. R? Not sure how?
