esistance depends on the size and shape of a conductor. We expect a long wire to have higher resistance than a short one (everything else being the same) and a thicker wire to have a lower resistance than a thin one.  Resistance also depends on the intrinsic property of the conductor called the resistivity.  If the resistivity of a particular wire is 12.08x10-8 Ω⋅mΩ⋅m, the wire is 14.22mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.33m, what is the resistance of the wire in units of Ohms (ΩΩ)?
