Question

What is the resistance of a 3.9 m  length of copper wire 1.3  mm  in diameter? The resistivity of copper is 1.68×10−8 Ω⋅m .

Expert Solution
Step 1

The resistance of a wire is given by,

             R = ρlA Here,      ρ is the resiticvity of the wire     l is the length of the wire     A is the cross sectional area of the wire
