Explanation / Answer

Resistance R of a wire of length L, cross sectional area A and resistivity S is given by:

R = S * L/A

You need to be consistent with units, which means L must be in metres and A in m^2

radius of wire = 0.0005/2 = 2.5*10^-4m

A = pi * r^2 = 1.96 * 10^-7 m^2
L = 0.44 m

R = 2.44 * 10^-8 * 0.44/1.96 *10^-7 = 0.0547 ohms

Current I = 0.380 A
Power = I^2 * R
= 7.89 * 10^-3 W,
