MCQ
The resistivity of a wire varies with:
- Alength
- Bcross-section
- Cmass
- Dmaterial
✓
Answer
- material
Explanation:
Resistivity of the wire is an intrinsic property of the material with which the wire is made and thus depends only on the material of the wire, not on the dimensions of the wire.
