Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from 1.20 g of copper. The wire is to have a resistance of R = 0.680 Ω and all the copper is to be used (?=1.70 x 10-8 Ω ?, density = 8.92 x 103 kg/m3). (a) What must be the length of this wire? (b) What must be the diameter of this wire?

Please use equation from sheet
The density of an object is its mass per unit volume .It can be written as
.............................(1)
The Copper wire is having the shape of a cylinder.Its volume can be calculated as
...................(2)
(Where area is )
Resistance of a conductor is a measure of objection to the current flow through it . Its value for a given conductor is calculated as ...................(3),where is the resistivity of the material,l is the length and A is the area of the conductor.
