Consider two copper wires of equal cross-sectional area. One wire has 3 times the length of the other. How do the resistivities of these two wires compare?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

The relation between resistance and resistivity is given by :

[tex]R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}[/tex]

[tex]\rho[/tex] is resistivity of material

l is length of wire

A is area of cross section of wire

Resistivity of a material is the hidden property. If one wire has 3 times the length of the other, then it doesn't affect its resistivity. Hence, the resistivity of two wires is
