The renin-angiotensin system or RAS regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. When blood volume or sodium levels in the body are low, or blood potassium is high, cells in the kidney release the enzyme, renin. Renin's primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys.

Q:

A copper wire of radius r and length lhas a resistance of R. A second copper wire with radius 2r and length lis taken and the two wires  are  joined  in  a  parallel  combination. The  resultant  resistance   of  the  parallel combination of the two wires will be

A) 5 R B) 5 R/4
C) 4 R/5 D) R/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R/5

Explanation:

1st copper wire: R = pl/A = pl/ πr2

2ndcopper wire: R’ = p’l’/A’ = pl/(4 πr2) = R/4

If joined in parallel, (1/Req) = (1/R) + (1/R’)

= 1/R + 4/R1/Req= 5/R

Req= R/5
