What is the resistance of a 4.4-m length of copper wire 1.5 mm in diameter? The resistivity of copper is 1.68*10-8Ω⋅m.

R = 4.18 * 10^8ohms

Explanation:

R=resistance in ohms=?

ρ=resistivity of material in ohms meters = 1.68*10^-8 oh ohm meters

L = length of the object (m) = 4.4m

A = cross-sectional area of the object in square meters (m^2) = πr^2

r = (1.5mm/1000) / 2 = 0.00075m

A=π * (0.00075) ^2 = 1.76714586764426*10^-6

Approximately, A = 1.767m^2

R = ρL/A = (1.68*10^8Ω⋅m) * (4.4m) / (1.767m^2)

R = 418336162.988115 ohms

Approximately, R = 4.18 * 10^8ohms.
