Ответ:
R =0.672 ohms
Explanation:
We have,
Length of a gold wire is 6 m
Resistivity of gold is![5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m](/tpl/images/0671/7498/8c3a0.png)
Area of cross section of the wire is![5\times 10^{-7}\ m^2](/tpl/images/0671/7498/c5b69.png)
The resistance of a wire is given by the relation as follows :
So, the resistance of the gold wire is 0.672 ohms.
