Resistance of a metal wire of length $1\, m$ is $26\, \Omega$ at $20^{\circ} C$. If the diameter of the wire is $0.3\, mm$,what will be the resistivity of the metal at that temperature?

  • A
    $1.84 \times 10^{-6} \, \Omega \, m$
  • B
    $2.84 \times 10^{-6} \, \Omega \, m$
  • C
    $1.84 \times 10^{-5} \, \Omega \, m$
  • D
    $2.84 \times 10^{-5} \, \Omega \, m$
