A 25.0-meter length of platinum wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.50 * 10^-6 meter^2 has a resistance

of 0.757 ohm at 20°C. Calculate the resistivity of the wire. [Show all work, including the equation and

substitution with units.]

    R = (rou * L) / area

    where R is the wire resistance

    rou: resistivity of the wire material

    L : wire length

    A : cross section area of wire

    by sub.

    0.757 = (rou*25) / 3.5*10^-6

    25*rou = 2.6495*10^-6

    rou = 1.0598*10^-7 ohm. m
