AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the new resistivity of a wire when it is stretched to double its length, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Resistivity Resistivity (ρ) is a property of the material that does not change with the shape or size of the material. It is defined as the resistance of a unit length of a material with a unit cross-sectional area. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Information - Initial resistivity of the wire: ρ - The wire is stretched to double its length: L' = 2L ...
