Question

Resistance depends on the size and shape of a conductor. We expect a long wire to have higher resistance than a short one (everything else being the same) and a thicker wire to have a lower resistance than a thin one.  Resistance also depends on the intrinsic property of the conductor called the resistivity.  If the resistivity of a particular wire is 70.26x10-8 Ω ⋅ m, the wire is 44.47mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.95m, what is the resistance of the wire in units of Ohms (Ω)?
