What length of a copper wire of cross-sectional area `0.01 mm^2` will be needed to prepare a resistance of `1 kOmega`? Resistivity of copper `= 1.7 xx 10^(-8) Omega m`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the length of a copper wire needed to prepare a resistance of \(1 \, k\Omega\) with a given cross-sectional area and resistivity, we can use the formula for resistance: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] Where: - \(R\) is the resistance, ...
