R=2in=0.0254×2=0.0508m0.0254\times2=0.0508m

L=240 in =240×0.0254=6.096m=240\times0.0254=6.096m

ρ=1.724×108Ωm\rho=1.724\times10^{-8}\Omega m

We know that

R=ρLAR=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Put value


R=1.724×108×6.0963.14×0.05082=1.296×1005ΩR=\frac{1.724\times10^{-8}\times6.096}{3.14\times0.0508^2}=1.296\times10^{-05}\Omega
