Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L1 and wire 2 has length L2, how do L1 and L2 compare if wire 1 is made from copper and wire 2 is made from aluminum? The resistivity of copper is 1.7 × 10^–5 ?·m and the resistivity of aluminum is 2.82 × 10^–5 ?·m
a. L1 = 1.7 L2 b. L1 = 0.60 L2 c. L1 = 2.8 L2 d. L1 = 0.36 L2
