1 Figure 26-15 shows cross sections through three long conduc- tors of the same length and material, with square cross sections of edge lengths as shown. Conductor B fits snugly within conductor A, and conductor C fits snugly within conductor B. Rank the fol- lowing according to their end-to-end resistances, greatest first: the individual conductors and the combinations of A + B (B inside A), B+ C (Cinside B), and A + B + C(B inside A inside C).
