The resistivity, \(\mathit{P}\), of a material of length l, cross-sectional area A, resistance R, is given by the equation

A.

\(\mathit{P} = \frac{RA}{l}\)

B.

\(\mathit{P} = \frac{l}{RA}\)

C.

\(\mathit{P} = \frac{Rl}{A}\)

D.

\(\mathit{P} = \frac{R}{Al}\)

Correct answer is A

 resistivity P  is directly proportional to the product of resistance and cross-sectional area and inversely proportional to the length of the wire
