A negligibly small current is passed through a wire of length 15 m and uniform cross-section `6.0 xx 10^(-7) m^(2)`, and its resistance is measured to be `5.0 Omega`. What is the resistivity of the material at the temperature of the experiment ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the resistivity of the material at the temperature of the experiment, we can use the formula that relates resistance, resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area of the wire: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance (in ohms, \( \Omega \)) ...
