The terminals of a watch battery are connected by a long gold wire with a diameter of . What is the current in the wire?
25. A battery provides of current.
a. At what rate is charge lifted by the charge escalator?
b. How much work does the charge escalator do to lift of charge?
c. What is the power output of the charge escalator?
What is the resistance of
a. long gold wire that is in diameter?
b. A long piece of carbon with a square cross-section?
The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as , where T0 is a reference temperature, usually 20°C, and a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity.
a. First find an expression for the current I through a wire of length L, cross-section area A, and temperature T when connected across the terminals of an ideal battery with terminal voltage ∆V. Then, because the change in resistance is small, use the binomial approximation to simplify your expression. Your final expression should have the temperature coefficient a in the numerator.
b. For copper, a = 3.9 * 10-3 °C-1 . Suppose a 2.5-m-long, 0.40-mm-diameter copper wire is connected across the terminals of a 1.5 V ideal battery. What is the current in the wire at 20°C?
c. What is the rate, in A/°C, at which the current changes with temperature as the wire heats up?
15. A hollow copper wire with an inner diameter of and an outer diameter of carries a current of . What is the current density in the wire?
