The resistivity, P, of a material of length ...

The resistivity, P, of a material of length l, cross-sectional area A, resistance R, is given by the equation

A.

P=RAl

B.

P=lRA

C.

P=RlA

D.

P=RAl

Correct answer is A

 resistivity P  is directly proportional to the product of resistance and cross-sectional area and inversely proportional to the length of the wire
