- 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)?arrow_forwardAs part of a class project you are given 0.900 g of copper and asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section.
