A metallic wire having resistivity p is cut into four equal parts. The resistivity of each part is?

Ap

B4p

Cp/2

Dp/4

Answer:

A. p

Read Explanation:

Resistivity (ρ) is a material property and does not depend on the length or cross-sectional area. Cutting the wire into parts does not change its resistivity; thus, each part has resistivity ρ.
