A 1.5m wire carries a 8A current when a potential difference of 67v is applied what is the resistance of the wire

Data is inappropriate

here, we need gauge of the wire i.e., diameter of the wire, so that we calculate the resistance by using the formula

R = ρl/A

where R= resistance ; Ω

l = length of wire ; m

A = area of wire ; m²

ρ = resistivity ; Ω-m

But in general ohms law is

V = I R

R = V/I ;

but here we also calculate "R" from length of wire in which the current is flowing.

I hope it is helpful to you.
