Imagine that we connect the terminals of a 1.5 V battery with a single wire 30 centimeters long.
a) What is the electric field magnitude in the wire when dynamic equilibrium is established and why?
b) Does this field strength depend on the wire's conductivity and/or its cross-sectional area?
c) Does the total current flowing in the wire in these circumstances depend on the wire's conductivity and/or its cross-sectional area? Explain.
