Question
You build a resistor using nichrome, resistivity 1.2x106 Qm, you shape the
resistor in a rectangular shape as shown.
a) If current flows as shown and, if a= 0.8mm , b=1.5 mm and c= 2.4
m, what is the resistance of said resistor?
b) You connect this resistor to a discharged capacitor with
a
capacitance 2500 µF and a battery at 12 V, how much time will
elapse until the capacitor is 99% full
c) How much energy is stored in the capacitor when it's fully charged
d) Using U = S P dt, find how much energy the resistor dissipates?
How does that compare to your answer in part c?
