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?

Both wires have the same resistivity.

The longer wire has 3 times the resistivity of the shorter wire.

The longer wire has 9 times times the resistivity of the shorter wire.

The longer wire has 27 times times the resistivity of the shorter wire.

A 20-m wire of 0.10 mm 2 cross-sectional area draws 0.5 A when connected across a 3.0-V potential difference. (a) What is the resistance of the wire? (b) What is the resistivity of the material from which the wire is made?

(a) 6.0 Ω (b) 3.0 × 10 -8 Ω • m
