resistance of a wire is given as
R= (\rho L)/A
where \rho is resistivity of the material, L it’s length and A it’s area. A of the wire is \pi x r2
Put the values in the formula and you’ll get the answer. If you like this answer please approve it and if you have any follow-up question feel free to ask :)
