Resistance of a uniform metal wire of length $1\text{m}$ and cross-sectional area $1{\text{cm}}^2$ is $10\Omega$. Resistivity of the wire is

Let us write down the given variables in consistent CGS system units:
* Length, $l=1\text{m}=100\text{cm}$
* Cross-sectional Area, $A=1{\text{cm}}^2$
* Resistance, $R=10\Omega$

The formula linking resistance ($R$) with resistivity ($\rho$) is:

$$R=\rho \frac{l}{A}$$

Isolating the resistivity variable ($\rho$):

$$\rho =R\frac{A}{l}$$

Substituting our standard values:

$$\rho =10\Omega \times \frac{1{\text{cm}}^2}{100\text{cm}}=\frac{10}{100}\Omega \cdot \text{cm}=\frac{1}{10}\Omega \cdot \text{cm}$$
