question 41

Multiple Choice

Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L₁ and wire 2 has length L₂, how do L₁ and L₂ compare if wire 1 is made from copper and wire 2 is made from aluminum? The resistivity of copper is 1.7 *10^-5 $\Omega$ ·m and the resistivity of aluminum is 2.82 *10^-5 $\Omega$ ·m.

• A) L₁ = 0.36 L₂
• B) L₁ = 2.8 L₂
• C) L₁ = 0.60 L₂
• D) L₁ = 1.7 L₂
