**Physics Problem on Electrical Resistance and Temperature Effects****Problem Statement:**2) a) A 40-m length of copper wire at 20°C has a diameter of 0.3 mm. If a potential difference of 10 V is applied across the length of the wire, determine the current in the wire.b) If the wire is heated to 40°C while the 10-V potential is maintained, what is the resulting current in the wire?---### Analysis:This problem consists of two parts:1. Calculating the current in a copper wire given its physical dimensions and an applied voltage at a standard temperature (20°C).2. Determining the resulting current when the wire is heated to a higher temperature (40°C) while maintaining the same applied voltage.### Detailed Steps:#### Part a) Calculation at 20°C:1. **Determine the resistance (R) of the copper wire at 20°C**: - Use the resistivity formula for a conductor: \[ R = \rho \frac{L}{A} \] where: - \( \rho \) is the resistivity of copper at 20°C (typically around 1.68 x 10^-8 Ω·m). - \( L \) is the length of the wire (40 m). - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the wire (\( A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2 \)). - \( d \) is the diameter of the wire (0.3 mm or 0.0003 m).2. **Calculate the current (I) using Ohm's law**: - Ohm’s law: \( I = \frac{V}{R} \) - Where \( V \) is the potential difference (10 V).#### Part b) Calculation at 40°C:1. **Adjust the resistivity for temperature change**: - Copper's resistivity changes with temperature. This can be found using: \[ \rho_T = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha (T - T_0)] \] where: - \( \rho_T \) is the resistivity at temperature \( T \). - \( \rho_0 \) is the resistivity at the reference temperature \( T_0 \) (20°C). - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of
