Given information

It is given that the copper wire is 21-m long, 1.628 mm in diameter and carries a current of 12-A. It is also known that the resistivity of copper is  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

 

The Ohm’s law tells that the ratio of voltage drop (V) and the current (I) passing through a resistance (R) is ideally constant which is equal to the value of that resistance itself, i.e.,

 V=IR

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.
