Can anyone tel me how to determine the specific resistance of the wire using Post Office Box method?

step 1. find the
resistance of the wire using Post Office Box method.

it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving

this u can do by using wheatsone bridge principle :

P / Q = R / S

where, P = 1st arm resistance
           Q= 2nd ....................
           R = 3rd ................
           S = 4th ..................=  resistance of the wire.

it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving

step 2.
find the diameter of the wire  ( say, d  ) and length of the wire ( say, L  ).

step3.

by definition,

specific resistance of the wire =  S A / L     ( A = area of cs )

                                               = S
d2 / 4L


Determine L = length by any scale.

specific resistance of any material is defined mathematically

as   = S A / L

where S = resistance of any portion of the wire

          A = its cross section

          L = its length.

it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving
