The resistivity of copper is 1.7 X 1O-8 ohm m. What length of copper wire of diameter 0.1 mm will have a resistance of 34 ohms?
Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from 1.00 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance of R = 0.500 Ω and all the copper is to be used, what must be the (a) length and the (b) diameter of this wire?
A 18.0 -m length of wire consists of 9.0 m of copper followed by9.0 m of aluminum, both of diameter 1.3 mm. A voltage difference of95 mV is placed across the composite wire.A) What is the total resistance (sum) of the two wires?B) What is the current through the wire?C) What is the voltage across the copper part?D) What is the voltage across the aluminum part?
