MCQ
Two wires $A$ and $B $ of same length and of the same material have the respective radii ${r_1}$ and ${r_2}$. Their one end is fixed with a rigid support, and at the other end equal twisting couple is applied. Then the ratio of the angle of twist at the end of $A$ and the angle of twist at the end of $B $ will be
  • A
    $\frac{{r_1^2}}{{r_2^2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{r_2^2}}{{r_1^2}}$
  • $\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{r_1^4}}{{r_2^4}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{r_2^4}}{{r_1^4}}$
c
(c)Twisting couple $C = \frac{{\pi \eta {r^4}\theta }}{{2l}}$

If material and length of the wires $A$ and $B$ are equal and equal twisting couple are applied then 

$\theta \propto \frac{1}{{{r^4}}}$ $\Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{\theta _1}}}{{{\theta _2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)^4}$
