QQuestion

If the same potential difference is applied between the two ends of iron and copper wires having the same length and cross section, does equal amount of current flow through the two wires?

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

No. For the same potential difference (V), length (L), and cross-section (A), the current depends on resistivity (ρ)
