Expert Solution
Step 1

Part A)

Let the radius of the cross-section of the wire be r, the area of the cross-section of the wire be A, the magnitude of the electric field applied be E, and the current flowing through the wire be I.

The value of resistivity of the wire is calculated by using the following equation.

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

In this case,

r = 1.90×10-3 m

Substitute the required values in equation (1) to get the value of the resistivity of the material of the wire in the following way.
