A wire 1.0m long and with cross-sectional area 2.0 x 10-7 m2 has a resistance of 0.1\(\Omega\). Calculate the electrical conductivity of the wire
- A. 2.0 x 107\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)
- B. 5.0 x 107\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)
- C. 2.0 x 108\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)
- D. 5.0 x 108\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)
Correct Answer: B. 5.0 x 107\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)
Explanation
K = \(\frac{1}{RA} = \frac{1}{0.1 \times 2 \times 10^{-7}} = 5 \times 10^7\)
