Three wires each of length \(L\), cross-sectional area \(A\) and resistivity \(\rho\) are connected as shown in the figure.
These are to be replaced by another wire of same resistivity such that the resistance between points \(X\) and \(Z\) does not change. If \(L_1\) is the length and \(A_1\) is the cross-sectional area of the new wire, then which one among the following is correct?
To find the equivalent wire that has the same resistance between points \(X\) and \(Z\), we need to analyze the given setup and calculate the total resistance.
The three wires in the setup are arranged in such a way that two wires, each with resistance \(R\), are in parallel, and this combination is in series with another wire of resistance \(R\).
Thus, the correct option is:
\(L_1 = 3L\) and \(A_1 = 2A\)
