Homework Statement
Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from 2.00 g of copper. The wire is to have a resistance of* R = 0.480 Ω*and all the copper is to be used.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
In the problem, they suggest using this relationship for resistance [itex]R=\rho A l[/itex]. How did they get that? From my understanding, resistance is [itex]R = \rho \frac{l}{A}[/itex]
