Question:
a copper wire has diameter of 0.5 mm and resistivity of 1.6*10^-8 ohm meter what will be length of wire to make its resistance 10 ohms
Answer:

R = pl/a, where,

R= Resistance of the wire

p= specific resistance

l=length of the wire

a= area of cross section of the wire

With the given values,

A= 1.96349541*10^-7

p = 1.6*10^-8

R= 10

l=(10*1.96349541*10^-7) /(1.6*10^-8)

l=122.7m
