Imagine the wire is straight, now cut through at right angle to the centre line,

the exposed surface is the cross sectional area, on a round wire it

= pi * radius2 (area of a circle)

How do you find length and crosssectional area of a wire given just resistancevolume and resistivity?

Resistance varies directly as length Resistance varies inversely as cross-sectional area Hence R varies as L and R varies as 1/A Thus R = r(L/A) where r is the coefficient of resistance of the wire. If the wire is of uniform cross section, then A = V/L where V is the volume of the wire. Hence now we have R = r(L/(V/L)) or R = r(L-squared/V) or L-squared = (RxV)/r and so the answer would be L = square-root of (RxV)/r

What is the cross sectional area of a wire?

If you slice a wire cleanly and then look at the cut end, you see a little circle at the end. The area of that circle is the "cross-sectional area" of the wire. The larger that area is, the lower the DC resistance of the wire is.


Is the resistance of the wire directly or inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire?

When it is on the cross-sectional area it is inversely proportional to the wire,otherwise it is directly proportional to the wire.
