Calculate the resistivity of the material of a wire 1.0 m lomg, 0.4 mm diameter and having a resistance of 2.0 ohm.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the resistivity of the material of a wire, we can use the formula for resistance: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance (in ohms) - \( \rho \) is the resistivity (in ohm-meters) - \( L \) is the length of the wire (in meters) ...
