The area of cross-section of a potentiometer wire is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$. The potential difference per unit length of the potentiometer wire when it is connected to a cell of negligible internal resistance and a resistor in series is $0.15 \ Vm^{-1}$. If the current through the potentiometer wire is $0.3 \ A$,then the resistivity of the material of the potentiometer wire is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$
