Jenny bought a resistor made up of unknown material with color bands (red-green-black- brown-silver) to be used in her school project. She used a multimeter to measure the resistance of the resistor and she found out that the resulting value is exactly the upper limit of the value of the resistance. The length of the resistor is 5 cm and the radius of the cross-sectional area is 1.7011 mm. (Assume that the shape of the resistor is perfectly cylindrical.)

1. Jenny bought a resistor made up of unknown material with color bands (red-green-black-
brown-silver) to be used in her school project. She used a multimeter to measure the
resistance of the resistor and she found out that the resulting value is exactly the upper
limit of the value of the resistance. The length of the resistor is 5 cm and the radius of the
cross-sectional area is 1.7011 mm. (Assume that the shape of the resistor is perfectly
cylindrical.)
A. Find the resistance value (upper limit).
B. Find the resistivity of the resistor
C. What type of material is the resistor made of?
