Detailed Solution

If the resistance of a wire is doubled,  its resistivity, ρ will remain the same.
One of its fundamental properties is a material's electrical resistivity, which measures how effectively it resists electric current. A material that readily permits electric current has a low resistivity. The Greek letter ρ is used to represent resistivity. The ohm-metre is the metric unit for electrical resistivity. The resistivity is related to the resistance of material as,
ρ=Rl/A
Where; R is the resistance, l is the length of the conductor, and A is the area of the cross-section of the given conductor.
