Question

A rod (length = 80 cm) with a rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm) has a resistance of 0.20 Ω. What is the resistivity of the material used to make the rod?

Answer 1

The resistivity of the material used to make the rod is ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Step-by-step explanation:

R= 0.2 Ω

L= 0.8 m

S= 1.5mm*2mm= 3 mm² = 3 * 10⁻⁶ m²

ρ = (R*S)/L

ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m
