A wire has a diamter of D=0.65 cm and is L=6.5 m long. When connected to a V=14 V source the wire passes a I=55 A current.
a. what is the wire's resistivity in Ω*m?
A conducting rod with a circular cross-section (this rod is a cylinder) has a radius of 1o
mm and is 2 metres long. The rod is made of aluminum, so its conductivity is 3.6 x 10' s/m. A
potential difference (voltage) is applied at both ends of this rod and the current is I= 90 A.
That's a lot of current!
a. What is the resistance of the rod, when measured from one end to the other?
b. Calculate the current density in the rod along its length.
. Determine the electric field amplitude at all locations within the rod.
d. What is the electric potential difference between the two ends of the rod.
