Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)
