Question
Chapter 22, Problem 47A
To determine
The wire which
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 47A
One with the large cross-sectional diameter.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electric resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and is inversely related to the area of cross-section and thereby to the diameter of the conductor.
Assuming the length of the wire to be same for both the cases, the wire that conducts electricity with the least resistance is the one with the large cross-sectional diameter since resistance of the wire is inversely related to the diameter of the wire.
Conclusion:
Hence, the wire with large cross-sectional diameter will have less resistance.
