Solution:We know that R = P I/A where I is length, A is cross section and P is resistivity of the material.
• According to the question, the other wire is of the same material having nine times the length and the same area of cross section. So, length is the only variable among the two wires.
• Since, resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length, 9 times increase in length imply nine times increase in resistance.
