Calculate the resistivity of a wire of length 2m and cross-sectional area 0.004cm2 if the resistance is 3.0 Ω.
  • A.
    0.0000267Ωcm
  • B.
    0.006Ωcm
  • C.
    0.26700Ωcm
  • D.
    0.27500Ωcm
  • E.
    0.060000Ωcm
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

R = αL/A
P = RA/L = (3 x 0.004)/2 = 0.006
