Physics Lab — Specific Resistance

Wire Geometry

Area A = π r² [m²] N/A

Calculated ρ

Mean ρ (RA/L): N/A
Slope (R/L): N/A
ρ (From Slope): N/A
Percent Difference: N/A

Current & Voltage Readings

Fixed lengths L (m). Enter I (A) and V (V) to compute R and ρ.

About Specific Resistance (ρ)

Resistivity ρ = R A / L. Plot R vs L: slope × A = ρ. Slope uses the first two valid points.
