A wire of length 15m made of a material of resistivity 1.8 x 10-6(\Omega)m has a resistance of 0.27(\Omega). Determine the area of the wire

A
1.5 x 10-4m2
B
1.0 x 10-4m2
C
2.7 x 10-5m2
D
7.3 x 10-6m2

Correct Option: B

Resistivity = (\frac{\text {Resiatance x Area}}{length})

1.6 x 10-6 = (\frac{15 \times Area}{0.27})

Area = 1.0 x 10-4m2
