A wire of cross-sectional area 0.60mm2 has a restivity of 7.2 x 10-7 \(\Omega\). Calculate the length of wire that will have a resistance of 3\(\Omega\).
0.25m
2.50m
3.60m
36.00

Explanation

R = \(\frac{PL}{A}\)

C = \(\frac{RA}{P}\)

C = \(\frac{0.60 \times 10^{-6} \times 3}{7.2 \times 10^{-7}}\)

C = 2.50m
