=
(12.739 × 62.42) × 10 −6 l 2
(12.739 + 62.42) × 10 −3 l
= 10.58 × 10
−3 l = 2
∴ l = 1890 cm = 18.9 m
12.12 R 2 = R 0 (1 + αt 2 )
R 1 = R 0 (1 + αt 1 )
∴

√
2 . The P.D., V AB = V AD as R AB = R AD . Hence no current flows
through the diagonal BD, Fig. 12.36. The effective resistance of the network
is obtained by combining the resistance of AB and BC in series (1 + 1) in
parallel with that of AD and DC in series (1 + 1):
