Question:
2- The resistance in a wire (circular cross-section) is given by the formula:
R = p × L/A
Where R is the resistance in Ohms (Ω), p is the resistivity of the material (constant for a material) in Ωm, L is the length of the material, and A is the cross-sectional area of the material. Find the resistance and its uncertainty in copper wire with a length of 50 m and a radius of 10 cm. The resistivity of copper is 2 Ωm. The uncertainty of wire length and radius measurements are W Length = 1 cm and W radius = 0.1 cm, respectively.
Resistance = _________________ KΩ (report the answer in Kilo Ohms)
Uncertainty = _________________ % (report the uncertainty in percentage)
