Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of how the resistance of a metal wire varies as a function of its diameter while keeping the length and temperature constant, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between resistance, resistivity, length, and area. The resistance \( R \) of a wire is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] where: ...
