Answer:
1.551×10^-8 Ωm
Explanation:
Resistivity of a material is expressed as shown;.
Resistivity = RA/l
R is the resistance of the material
A is the cross sectional area
l is the length of the wire.
Given;
R = 0.0310 Ω
A = πd²/4
A = π(2.05×10^-3)²/4
A = 0.000013204255/4
A = 0.00000330106375
A = 3.30×10^-6m
l = 6.60m
Substituting this values into the formula for calculating resistivity.
rho = 0.0310× 3.30×10^-6/6.60
rho = 1.023×10^-7/6.60
rho = 1.551×10^-8 Ωm
Hence the resistivity of the material is 1.551×10^-8 Ωm
