The length and area of cross-section of a copper wire are respectively 30 m and \(6 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}^2\). If the resistivity of copper is \(1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \mathrm{~m}\), then the resistance of the wire is

  1. A \(0.51 \Omega\)
  2. B \(0.68 \Omega\)
  3. C \(0.85 \Omega\)
  4. D \(0.75 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.85 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R = \rho \frac{L}{A}\) \(R = (1.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \mathrm{~m}) \frac{30 \mathrm{~m}}{6 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}^2}\) \(R = 0.85 \, \Omega\)
