Answer:
8.333*10^-6 ohms
Step-by-step explanation:
Resistivity of a material is expressed as;
p = RA/l
R is the resistance of the material
A is the cross sectional area
l is the length of the material
Given
R = 5 ohms
A = 0.5mm^2
A = 5 * 10^-7m^2
l = 30cm = 0.3m
Substitute into the formula;
p = (5 * 5 * 10^-7m^2)/0.3
p = 25 * 10^-7/0.3
p = 0.0000025/0.3
p = 8.333*10^-6
Hence its resistivity at 20 degrees Celsius is 8.333*10^-6 ohms
