Two cylindrical metal wires, $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$, are made of the same material and have the same mass. Wire $A$ is twice as long as wire B. What's the ratio $R_{\mathrm{A}} / R_{\mathrm{B}}$ ?
Wires 1 and 2 are made of the same metal. Wire 2 has twice the length and twice the diameter of wire $1 .$ What are the ratios (a) $\rho_{2} / \rho_{1}$ of the resistivities and (b) $R_{2} / R_{1}$ of the resistances of the two wires?
