You’ve made the finals of the Science Olympics! As one of your tasks, you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a wire, using all the metal, with a resistance of 1.0 Ω. Copper has a density of 8900 kg/m3. What length and diameter will you choose for your wire?
A student finds two ancient meters with numbered scales but no unit markings. He thinks that one is an ammeter and one is a voltmeter but doesn't know which is which. He measures the resistance of each, finding that meter A has a resistance of 5000 ohms and meter B has a resistance of 0.01 ohms. He can conclude that
Group of answer choices
A is the voltmeter and B is the ammeter.
neither can be a useful meter.
B is the voltmeter but A cannot be a useful meter.
A is the voltmeter but B cannot be a useful meter.

I need a proper solution for the following question.
You are working at a company that manufactures electrical wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched into incredibly long, thin wires. The company has developed a new technique that will stretch 1.00 g of gold into a wire of length L = 2.40 km and uniform diameter. Your supervisor gives you the task of determining the resistance of such a wire at 20.00C.
