Question
In the electric flow, it is found that the resistance (measured in the units called ohms) offered by a fixed length of wire of a given material varies inversely as the square of the diameter of the wire. If a wire 0.01 in. In diameter has a resistance of 0.332 ohms, what is the resistance of a wire of the same length and material with diameter 0.0260?
The resistance of a wire is
ohm.
