Two wires are there, one of copper and other of nichrome with equal resistance. Which wire is more thicker and why?

Answers

Answered by Shishiraiyar

Nichrome.... (not sure). Coz they have same resistance but resistivity of nichrome is higher ( Not sure coz it also depends on the length)

Edit : I used length instead of resistance. sry

anamika100403: that means resistivity is directly proportional to area of cross section?

Shishiraiyar: Ya because Resistance = (resistivity × area of cross section)/ length

anamika100403: ohk thnks

Nichrome wire will be more thicker coz nichrome conducts more electricity than copper and it is more costly than copper
