If 39.6 cm of copper wire (diameter = 0.872 mm, resistivity = 1.69
The radius of the wire can be calculated as follows:
r = 0.396 m / 2(pi)
= 0.063 m
The area of the loop of the wire is,
Aloop = (pi)r2
= (pi)(0.063 m)2
= 0.0125 m2

The resistance of the copper wire is,
R = (resistivity)(L/A)
= (1.69
