A 1.30 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.500 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 15.0 V across its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that at room temperature (20.0∘C) the ammeter reads 18.8 A, while at 92.0∘C it reads 16.6 A. You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. (A) Find the resistivity for the material of the rod at 20∘C Express your answer with the appropriate units. (B) Find the temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20∘C for the material of the rod. Express your answer in inverse degrees Celsius.

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the direction of the current is opposite to the flow.
