Verrrry interesting question, your Highness.If you measure between the ends of any diameter, then half of the circle is on one side of those points, and half of it is on the other side of them.  You are measuring the effective resistance of 2 halves of the resistance, in parallel.  So the effective resistance is 1/4 of the conductor's total resistance . . . 2.5 ohms.

Suggested Answer

so circumference is 10 cm .2 divisions<pints> is the radius .thats it :)
