The resistance and the magnitude of the current depend on the path that the current takes. The drawing shows three situations in which the current takes different paths through a piece of material.Each of the rectangular pieces is made from a material whose resistivity is p = 1.50 x 102 *m, and the unit of length in the drawing is Lobattery. Find (a) the resistance and (b) the current in each case.= 4 cm. Each piece of material is connected to a 3.00-VALO2LOLo4LO210LoLoALO(c)(b)(a)(a)RaRpRc%D(b)

The resistivity of blood is related to its hematocrit, the volume fraction of red blood cells in the blood.

As part of a class project you are given 0.900 g of copper and asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. You use up 95% of the copper and make a wire with a resistance of 0.723 Ω.

Resistance depends on the size and shape of a conductor. We expect a long wire to have higher resistance than a short one (everything else being the same) and a thicker wire to have a lower resistance than a thin one. Resistance also depends on the intrinsic property of the conductor called the resistivity. If the resistivity of a particular wire is 21.63x10-8 · m, the wire is 11.12mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.62m, what is the resistance of the wire in units of Ohms (N)? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Ohms (N), however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
