A wire is 1.2 m long and 1.2 mm² in cross-sectional area. It carries a current of 5.6 A when a 3.0 V potential difference is applied between its ends. Calculate the conductivity of the material of which this wire is made. Number i 1 Units (Q.m)^-1
Kiting during a storm. The legend that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite as a storm approached is only a legend — he was neither stupid nor suicidal. Suppose a kite string of radius 2.10 mm extends directly upward by 0.802 km and is coated with a 0.520 mm layer of water having resistivity 155 Ω·m. If the potential difference between the two ends of the string is 176 MV, what is the current through the water layer? The danger is not this current but the chance that the string draws a lightning strike, which can have a current as large as 500 000 A (way beyond just being lethal).

A lightning rod on top of a building consists of an iron spike 1.5 m long with a circular crosssection of diameter 1.5 cm. During a lightning strike, the rod carries a current of 1000 A. What is the potential difference across the rod when this current flows? The resistivity of iron is 1.0 x 10-7 Ωm.
Electric current passing through a human body can be dangerous, even fatal, depending on the amount of current, the duration of the current, and the region of the body through which the current passes. However, currents less than about 0.5 mA are typically imperceptible. A current caused by a low potential difference typically travels through the outer layer of the skin. The resistance of the skin therefore determines how much current flows for a given potential difference. The resistance can be influenced by a number of factors, including whether the skin is wet or dry . For example, suppose an electric current of 89.0 µA follows a path through the thumb and index finger. When the skin is dry, the resistance along this path is 4.40 ✕ 105 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for this current, in the case of dry skin? V When the skin is wet, the resistance is lowered to 1,950 Ω. What voltage (in V) is required for the same current, in the case of wet skin? V
