Question:

A nichrome wire $1 m$ long and $1 mm^2$ in cross-section area draws 4 ampere at 2 volt. The resistivity of nichrome is

Options:

$1 × 10^{-7}Ω-m$

$2 × 10^{-7}Ω-m$

$4 × 10^{-7}Ω-m$

$5 × 10^{-7}Ω-m$

Correct Answer:

$5 × 10^{-7}Ω-m$

Explanation:

Resistance = $\frac{V}{I}$ = 0.5 A 

R = $\frac{\rho l}{A}$ = 0.5 A 

$\rho = \frac{0.5 \times 10^{-6}}{1} = 5 \times 10^{-7}\Omega$-m
