Determine the resistivity of the material of the wire provided from the following procedures: (a) Use the micrometre screw gauge to determine the diameter of the given wire and hence find its cross section area in m$^2$. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 26 where C is a crocodile clip. Measure the length of wire L = 100 cm and clip it so that the current flows across the wire. Record the voltmeter reading V. (b) Repeat the procedures in 2 (a) with crocodile clip at L = 80 cm, 60 cm, 40 cm and 20 cm. Record the corresponding voltmeter reading in each case. (The length L should be in metres).
