4.1 Resistance Estimation:

The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length L, and inversely proportional to its cross section A. The resistance of a rectangular conductor (wire) of Fig 4.1 can be expressed as

where is the resistivity of the material in -cm, L is the length of the wire, H is the thickness of the wire and W is the wire width.
