Physics · Electrical energy and power, electrical resistivity and conductivity

Electrical resistivity of a given metallic wire depends upon:

Electrical resistivity of a given metallic wire depends upon:

  • A. its length
  • B. its thickness
  • C. its shape
  • D. nature of the material

Step-by-step solution

Electrical resistivity is an intrinsic property of a material, meaning it depends only on the material's composition and structure, not on its physical dimensions like length, thickness, or shape. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
