calculate the resistance of 1 km long copper wire of radius 1mm resisitivity of the copper is 1.72 *18 - 8 -ohm - meter
Dear Student ,
We know that the resistance is given as
R = ρL/A
here,
ρ = 1.72 x 10-8 ohm.m
L = 1000 m
A = πr2 = π(0.5x10-3)2 = 7.85 x 10-7 m2
so,
R = ( 1.72 x 10-8 x 1000 ) / 7.85 x 10-7
thus, resistance of the wire will be
R = 21.91
