Answer

$ \rho=7.08\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

Work Step by Step

We know that $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $R=\frac{\rho\times 6.9}{\pi(0.165\times 10^{-3})^2}$ We also know that $V=IR$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $12=2.1\times \frac{\rho\times 6.9}{\pi(0.165\times 10^{-3})^2}$ $\implies \rho=\frac{12\times \pi (0.165\times 10^{-3})^2}{2.1\times 6.9}$ $\implies \rho=7.08\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$
