Question 41

The resistivity of the material of a wire is $$10^{-7}\,\Omega\text{ m}$$. If the wire is stretched to increase its length by $$50\%$$, then its resistivity will be (assume stretching does not change the temperature)

Solution

Resistivity depends only on the material and its temperature, not on the dimensions of the wire. Stretching changes the resistance but not the resistivity, so it stays $$10^{-7}\,\Omega\text{ m}$$.
