The electrical resistance of a uniform conductor is given in terms of resistivity by:

where l is the length of the conductor in SI units of meters, a is the cross-sectional area (for a round wire a = ?r2 if r is radius) in units of meters squared, and ? is the resistivity in units of ohm·meters.

Therefore
 and 
Resistance in parallel will be
Now the ratio between total resistance and reistance of wire A is
