Problem

We have l = 11.4 m of wire with circular cross-section with diameter d = 0.61 mm. The resistance of the wire is R = 19.6 Ω. What would be the resistance R_a of a cube formed by smelting this wire, if it was measured under direct current, between two perfectly conductive plates touching two opposite sides of the cube?
