According to the question Length of each rodl=1 m Area of cross-section of cach rod A=0.01 cm2=0.01×10−4 m2 ∴ If ρcu= resistivity of copper and ρCW is resistivity of iron then
ρcu=1.7×10−6Ωcm=1.7×10−8Ωρfe=10−5Ωcm=10−7Ω New Resistance of Cu rod =Rcu= ρcu A1 and Resistance of iron rod ρfe=ρfe A1 Both are connected in series then equivalent resistance is Res=Rce+RFe(ρcu+ρfe)V=ρcu Al+ρfe Al= Al=IR{ where I=1 A}=I(Rcu+Rfe)=1(ρcu+ρfe)=(ρcu+ρfe)( A1)=(1.7×10−8+10−7)=10−7(0.17+1)(106)=1.17×10−1 V=0.117 V
