Resistance of a Conducting Wire Calculator
The Resistance of a Conducting Wire Calculator will calculate the:
- Resistance of a conducting wire when the length, type of material and cross-sectional area of the material are given material
Calculation Parameters: Medium is considered as uniform; the wire is considered at the same thickness everywhere.
The Resistance of material is Ω[Ohm] |
