A power transmission line is hung from metal towers with glass insulators having a resistance of 2.55 ✕ 109 Ω. What current (in mA) flows through the insulator if the voltage is 300 kV? (Some high-voltage lines are DC.)
A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through the wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 12.2 m, a width of 1.8 mm, and a thickness of 0.11 mm. The wire is connected to the car’s 12.0 V battery and draws 7.5 A. What is the resistivity of the wire material?
