Resistivity of a material is the resistance of a cm long sample of the material of 1 cm2 cross-sectional area.

Yes the formula of resistivity is:


R=(\rho l)/(A)

Where
\rho is relativistic resistance with units
(\Omega)/(m), each metal has different relativistic resistance you must find the relativistic resistance of your material using the table of relativistic resistances.


l stands for the length of a wire.


A stands for the area of the wire. Usually it is equal to
\pi r^2 because.

So now we have data
A=1cm^2 but nothing else was specified so we are unable to calculate anything.

Hope this helps.
