Given, resistivity ρ = 2.8 × 10 - 8 Ω - m , Radius r = 2 × 10 - 3 m , Current I = 5 A Voltage difference V = 1 V ∵ Resistivity ρ = R A l ∴ 2.8 × 10 - 8 = R π 2 × 10 - 3 2 l ⇒ l = R π × 4 × 10 - 6 2.8 × 10 - 8 ⇒ l = V I 4 π × 10 - 6 2.8 × 10 - 8 (from ohm's law , V = I R ) l = 1 5 × 4 π × 10 - 6 2.8 × 10 - 8 = 0.897 × 10 2 = 89.7 m ≈ 90 m
