    Answer :-

    Specific resistance/resistivity of the wire is 4 × 10⁻⁶ Ωm .

    Explanation :-

    We have :-

    → Length of the wire = 100 cm = 1 m

    → Area of cross section = 0.02 cm²

    → Resistance = 2 Ω

    ________________________________

    Firstly, let’s convert the area of cross section of the wire from cm² to m² .

    ⇒ 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²

    ⇒ 0.02 cm² = 0.02 × 10⁻⁴ m²

    ⇒ 2 × 10⁻⁶ m²

    ________________________________

    Now, we know that :-

    R = ρl/A

    Where :-

    • R is resistance.

    • ρ is specific resistance.

    • l is length of the wire.

    • A is area of cross section.

    Substituting values, we get :-

    ⇒ 2 = (ρ × 1)/2 × 10⁻⁶

    ⇒ ρ = 2 × 2 × 10⁻⁶

    ⇒ ρ = 4 × 10⁻⁶ Ωm

    I=100cm=1m

    area=0.02=0.000002m^2

    specific resistance (Rxarea)/length

    2×0.000002×1

    =4×10^-6ohm-m
