Two rods of same material and length have their electric resistance in ratio I : 2. When both rods are dipped in water, the correct statement will be

a
A has more loss of weight
b
B has more loss of weight
c
both have same loss of weight
d
loss of weight will be in the ratio 1 : 2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

R=ρ lA ⇒ R1R2 =  A2A1ρ, L  constant⇒ A2A1 =  R2R1=2Now, when a body dipped in water, loss of weight=VσLg=ALσLgSo, Loss  of  weight1Loss  of  weight2 =A1A2=2;  so A has more loss of weight.
