When the length of a wire is doubled, the ammeter reading reduces to _____.
Aone-fourth
Bone
Chalf
Dthree-fourths
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. half
1. Resistance is directly proportional to length, so doubling length doubles resistance.
2. By Ohm's law I = V/R, doubling R at constant V halves the current.
3. Hence the ammeter reading reduces to half.
