A wire 1.0m long and with cross-sectional area 2.0 x 10^-7 m² has a resistance of 0.1\(\Omega\). Calculate the electrical conductivity of the wire

2.0 x 10⁷\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)

5.0 x 10⁷\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)

2.0 x 10⁸\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)

5.0 x 10⁸\(\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}\)

Correct answer is B

K = \(\frac{1}{RA} = \frac{1}{0.1 \times 2 \times 10^{-7}} = 5 \times 10^7\)
