A rod of semiconducting material of length L = 10 m and cross-sectional area A = 4.5 mm² lies along the x-axis between z = 0 and z = L. The material obeys Ohm's law, and its resistivity varies along the rod according to p = Po (1 where po = 5 x 10 4N · m. The end of the rod at a = 0 is at a potential Vo = 30 V greater than the end at a = L. B) What is the current, in units of miliamperes in the rod? Answer:
