There are two wires of the same length and of the same material and radii r and 2r . The ratio of their specific resistance is

Open in App

Solution

Specific resistance or resistivity does not depend on the dimensions of the wire and is dependened only on the material with which the wire is made. So in the question the ratio is 1:1 as they are of same material.
