A negligibly small current is passed through a wire of length 20 m and uniform cross-section 6.0 xx 10^(7) m^(2), and its resistance is measured to be 10.0 Omega . What is the resistivity of the material at the temperature of the experiment ?

Answer»

Solution :Resistance of a CONDUCTING WIRE is R = `(rho l)/(A)`
`rho = (RA)/(l)`
`= (5 xx 6 xx 10^(7))/(15)`
`rho = 2 xx 10^(-7) Omega` m
