Answer:
Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω
Explanation:
Resistance:
- Resistance of a metallic conductor is directly proportional to its length(l).
- Resistance of a metallic conductor is inversely proportional to its cross section area(A).
The notation sign of resistance is R.
The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).
Therefore,
and
ρ is the proportional constant.
It is also known as resistivity of that metal.
Given ρ=35×10⁻⁶Ω-m
l= 20 m
A= 4.0×10⁻⁶m²
=175Ω
Therefore the resistance of the conductor is 175Ω
