To solve the problem, we need to calculate the resistance of wire B given the resistance of wire A and the relationship between their diameters. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the diameters and radii of the wires Given that the diameter of wire A is half the diameter of wire B, we can express this relationship mathematically. If \( d_A \) is the diameter of wire A and \( d_B \) is the diameter of wire B, then: \[ d_A = \frac{1}{2} d_B \] This implies that the radius of wire A \( (r_A) \) is: \[ r_A = \frac{1}{2} r_B \] ...
