Concept explainers

Resistivity

Resistivity is a characteristic property of the conductor’s material that measures the extent to which the material opposes the flow of current. It is denoted by the Greek letter “rho”. Electrical resistivity, also known as specific resistance, depends on the nature of the material of the conductor and is unaffected by its dimensions.

Question

Two wires have the same resistance and radius. If the wires are made of silver and iron with resistivities respectively of 1.59 ✕ 10⁻⁸ Ω · m and 10.0 ✕ 10⁻⁸ Ω · m, determine the ratio of their lengths.
