Given information

It is given that the aluminum wire is 10.0 m long and its diameter is 2.2 mm, whereas the length of copper wire is 24.0 m and diameter is 1.8 mm. It is also known that the resistivity of aluminum and copper are respectively  and  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

 

Area with diameter, d

 

 

The resistance (R) of a resistor is related with the resistivity of it’s material (ρ), it’s length (l) and the cross-sectional area (A) as,

 

Where,   d is the diameter of the resistor.
