You've been asked to determine whether a new material your company has made is ohmic and, if so, to measure its electrical conductivity. Taking a 0.50 mm X 1.0 mm x 45 mm sample, you wire the ends of the long axis to a power supply and then measure the current for several different potential differences. Your data are as follows: Voltage AV (V) Current I (A) 0.200 0.47 0.400 1.06 0.600 1.53 0.800 1.97 Part A You want to determine if the material is ohmic and its conductivity o by graphing the data.

The Resistance of Nichrome Wire The radius of a piece of Nichrome wire is 0.306 mm. (Assume the wire's temperature is 20°C.) (a) Calculate the résistance per unit length of this wire. SOLUTION Conceptualize This table shows that Nichrome has a resistivity two orders of magnitude larger than the best conductors in the table. Therefore, we expect it to have some special practical applications that the best conductors may not have. Categorize We model the wire as a ---Select--- so that a simple geometric analysis can be applied to find the resistance. Analyze Use this equation and the resistivity of Nichrome to find the resistance per unit length (in 0/m): R 0/m %3D %3D %3D A (b) If a potential difference of 10 V is maintained across a 1.0 m length of the Nichrome wire, what is the current in the wire?

2. Page > of 3 5. Two long coaxial metal cylinders with radii a and b are separated by material of conductivity o (see figure below). The conductivity is not uniform and changes as = (s)0 where k is a constant. If the two cylinders are kept at a potential difference V, find the resistance R between the cylinders. (s)o Hint: Since the conductivity is a function of position, the charge density in the resistive medium is not zero and E does not go like 1/s. However, since the current I is steady, the same current flows across each eylindrical surface. Instead of using Gauss' Law, find E in terms of I, from Ohm's Law. acer F10 F11
