A nichrome wire 50cm long and one square millimeter cross section carries a current of 4A  when connected to a 2V  battery. The resistivity of nichrome wire in ohm - meter is

a
1×10−6
b
4×10−7
c
3×10−7
d
2×10−7

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Length l=50 cm=50×10−2 m Area of cross section A=10−6 m2Current i=4 APotential difference V=2 VResistivity ρ=?V=iR⇒iρlA⇒ρ=VAil⇒2×10−64×50×10−2       ∴  ρ=1×10−6Ωm
