The gauge is a measure of the diameter of the wire; and #18 corresponds to a diameter of 1.2
x 10-3 m; and #22 corresponds to a diameter of 6.4 x 10-4 m. The resistivity of iron is 9.7 x 10-
8Q. m; and the value for copper is 1.72 x 10-8Q. m.
Of the five wires, which one has the smallest resistance?
