The correct answer is:
be halved
The inverse of resistance of any wire or conductor is defined as conductance.
conductance
Resistance of a wire is given by
Here, Resistivity of wire,
Length of the wire,
Cross-sectional area.
If the length of the wire is doubled, the resistance will also get doubled.
thus the conductance of the wire will be halved.
