Question
If the radius of a copper wire is doubled, will its specific resistance increase, decrease or remain same?
✓

Answer

The specific resistance of a wire depends only on the material (at a given temperature).
Therefore by changing the radius, the specific resistance of copper remains unchanged.

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is $\text{B}=\mu_0\text{ni}.$ It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
