The correct Answer is:
To find the specific resistance (also known as resistivity) of the wire, we can use the formula that relates resistance (R), specific resistance (ρ), length (L), and cross-sectional area (A) of the wire: \[ R = \frac{\rho \cdot L}{A} \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance of the wire (in ohms, Ω) - \( \rho \) is the specific resistance (in ohm-meters, Ω·m) - \( L \) is the length of the wire (in meters, m) - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire (in square meters, m²) Given: - \( R = 100 \, \Omega \) - \( L = 1 \, m \) - \( A = 2 \, m^2 \) We need to rearrange the formula to solve for specific resistance (ρ): \[ \rho = \frac{R \cdot A}{L} \] Now, substituting the given values into the equation: \[ \rho = \frac{100 \, \Omega \cdot 2 \, m^2}{1 \, m} \] Calculating the right side: \[ \rho = \frac{200 \, \Omega \cdot m^2}{1 \, m} = 200 \, \Omega \cdot m \] Thus, the specific resistance of the wire is: \[ \rho = 200 \, \Omega \cdot m \] ### Final Answer: The specific resistance of the wire is \( 200 \, \Omega \cdot m \). ---
