4. The resistivity "p" of a wire is expressed as p(x)=ax where a is a constant and x is the length of the wire. Then calculate the ratio of R/R: if Ri and R:are the resistance values of the wires of resistivity p(x)=ax. The wires have lengths 2L and 3L respectively. (Assume that the area of the wires are the same and constant.)
