and another question: A resistor is constructed of a carbon rod that has a uniform cross-sectional area of 6.10 mm2. When a potential difference of 24.4 V is applied across the ends of the rod, there is a current of 8.50 mA in the rod.
a) Find the resistance of the rod in kΩ.

Find the rod`s length in meters. The resistivity of carbon is 3.5x10-5 Ωm
i solved a in ohms and then converted to kilohms and got it right, so for part B i used the formula R=pL/A and manipulated it to be L = RA/p. I converted the mm2 to m2 and im not getting this part right at all? i used an online converter for the mm2 to double check and it gave me 6.1mm² = 0.0000061000m²
