An element of an electric fire is made up from a length of nichrome wire of diameter

Question:

An element of an electric fire is made up from a length of nichrome wire of diameter 0.40 mm and length 5.0 m. The resistance of this element is R1. Another element, also made from nichrome, for a different electric fire, has a length of 2.0 m and a diameter of 0.20 mm. This element has a resistance of R2. What is the relationship between R1 and R2?

A. R= 0.80 R1

B. R2 = 1.6 R1

C. R= 5.0 R1

D. R2 = 10 R1
