Physics-Resistance & Resistivity
NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
If a copper wire has a length of 2 meters and a cross-sectional area of 1 mm², and its resistivity is 1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm, what is its resistance?
A
0.0336 Ω
B
0.00336 Ω
C
0.336 Ω
D
36 Ω
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Resistance R is calculated using the formula R = ρl/A, where ρ is the resistivity, l is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area. Substituting the given values: R = (1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm * 2 m) / (1 × 10⁻⁶ m²) = 0.0336 Ω.
