$A$ wire $50\, cm$ long and $1\, mm^2$ in cross-section carries a current of $4\, A$ when connected to a $2\, V$ battery. The resistivity of the wire is:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-6}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • B
    $4 \times 10^{-6}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-7}\, \Omega\cdot m$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-7}\, \Omega\cdot m$
