(c) What would be the drift velocity if the same gauge copper were used instead of aluminum? The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm3 and thedensity of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. The molar mass ofaluminum is 26.98 g/mol and the molar mass of copper is 63.5 g/mol. Assume each atom of metal contributes one free electron.arrow_forwardResistance 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 12.08x10-8 N · m, the wire is 14.22mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.33m, 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 (), 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.arrow_forwardMost of the resistance of the human body comes from the skin, as the interior of the body contains aqueous solutions that are good electrical conductors. For dry skin, the resistance between a person’s hands is typically 510 kiloohm. The skin is on average about 2.00 mm thick. We can model the body between the hands as a cylinder 1.60 m long and 12.0 cm in diameter with the skin wrapped around it. What is the resistivity of the skin?arrow_forward

What is the diameter of the wire?arrow_forwardResistance 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 70.26x10-8 Ω ⋅ m, the wire is 44.47mm in length, and the radius of the diameter of the wire is 1.95m, what is the resistance of the wire in units of Ohms (Ω)?arrow_forward
