Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the resistivity of a wire changes with the change in thickness of the wire, we can analyze the relationship between resistivity, resistance, area, and length. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Resistivity**: - Resistivity (ρ) is a material property that indicates how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is defined as: \[ \rho = R \cdot \frac{A}{L} ...
