The specific resistance is given by:...

The specific resistance is given by:

A

`(RA)/l`

B

`(Rl)/A`

C

`"RA"`l

D

`(Al)/R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(RA)/l`
Explanation: Resistance of any ohmic conductor,
`R=rhol/A`
where `rho` is specific resistance, A is the cross-section and l is length of conductor
`rho=(RA)/l`
