Solution

The power (P) dissipated in a conductor can be calculated using the formula P = I^2 * R, where I is the current and R is the resistance.

The resistance (R) of a conductor can be calculated using the formula R = ρ * L / A, where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length of the conductor, and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

Substituting the second equation into the first, we get P = I^2 * (ρ * L / A).

From this equation, we can see that the power dissipated in a conductor is directly proportional to the resistivity (ρ).

Therefore, the correct answer is C. ρ.
