A long round conductor of cross-sectional area A is made of a material whose resistivity depends only on the distance r from the axis of the conductor as`p=alpha/r^2` where a is `alpha` constant. Find (a) the resistance per unit length of such a conductor, (b) the electric field strength in the conductor due to which a current I flows through it.
