b) Resistance and Area of cross-section of a wire: ____________________________[1]

2. Write the Formula for resistance and resistivity. [1]

3. The resistivity of a metal wire is 10 x 10−8 Ω m 5. What will be the resistivity of a metal wire of
at 20°C. Find the resistance of the same wire of 2 m length and 0.6 mm in diameter, if the
2-meter length and 0.3 mm thickness. [1] resistance of the wire is 50 Ω. [1]
