A 0.500 m length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 * 10 ^ - 6 meters squared is found to have a resistance of 2.53 * 10 ^ - 3 ohms according to the resisting chart, from what material is the wire made? PLEASE HELP M​E

The wire is made of silver (ρ =  1.59×10⁻⁸ ohms/m)

Explanation:

Applying,

R = ρL/A Equation 1

Where R = Resistance length of the wire, ρ = Resistivity of the wire, L = Length of the wire, A = crosssectional area of the wire

make ρ the subject of the equation

ρ = RA/L Equation 2

From the question,

Given: R = 2.53×10⁻³ ohms, A = 3.14×10⁻⁶ m², L = 0.5 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

ρ = (2.53×10⁻³)(3.14×10⁻⁶)/0.5

ρ = 1.59×10⁻⁸ ohms/m

Hence from the resistivity chart, the wire is made of silver

hope this
