Nichrome is an alloy used for making electric heater wires. A nichrome wire of diameter 0.50 mm is to be used for this purpose. In operating conditions, the temperature of the wire is 968 °C, and the power of the electric heater is 1.5 kW. The potential difference applied to the heater wire is 110 volts. What should be the resistance (in ohms) of the wire at room temperature (20°C)? Electrical resistivity of nichrome at 20°C= 1.0 x 10-6 Qm Temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.4 x 10-3 C-1
Hi, I have a question regarding electromagnetism. The question is as follows: An aluminum rod has a resistance of 1.590 Ω at 20.0°C. Calculate the resistance of the rod at 102°C by accounting for the changes in both the resistivity and the dimensions of the rod. The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is 24.0 ✕ 10-6 (°C)−1.
A silver wire has a resistance of 2.00 Ω at 34.0°C. Determine its resistance (in Ω) at 434°C. The temperature coefficient of resistivity for silver wire is 3.80 ✕ 10−3 (°C)−1. (Assume that the temperature coefficient of resistivity was measured using the reference temperature 20°C.)
Suppose that the potential difference across the membrane of a biological cell is 57 mV, and that the resistance across the membrane is 7.8 × 109 Ω. The difference in potential drives a current of Na+ ions across the membrane of the cell. How many ions flow in 0.6s? (hint: calculate the electric current, then the total charge, then the number of ions.)
A digital thermometer employs a thermistor as the temperature-sensing element. A thermistor is a kind of semiconductor and has a large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity α. Suppose α = -0.0503 (Co)-1 for the thermistor in a digital thermometer used to measure the temperature of a patient. The resistance of the thermistor decreases to 87.6% of its value at the normal body temperature of 37.0 oC. What is the patient's temperature?
