We know that the wire length is 2300 feet for each piece of wire, but how do we determine the amount of resistance for a specific size and length of wire?
To do that, we need another formula: R=( rho)L/A
This formula relates the resistance of a conductor with its specificresistance(the Greek letter "rho" (?).
L is lenght of wire and also A is cross sectional area.
so specific resistance rho = RA/L.
