Chapter 27: Q. 71 (page 765)

71. A long, round wire has resistanceR. What will the wire's resistance be if you stretch it to twice its initial length?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The wire's resistance, if stretch to twice its initial length, is 4R.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A long, round wire has resistanceR. Resistance of the wire is R=蚁LA,where p indicates the resistivity, L is the length and A is the cross sectional area.

02

Explanation

In the initial state of the wire will be,
R=蚁LA
In elongation, the volume is the quantity that doesn't switch, but the density accomplishes. This indicates that the product of the length with the cross-section surface area is stable. To discover the area after the stretching as,
LA=L'A'鈬�A'=LL'A
The resistance of the elongated wire evolves:
R'=蚁L'A'=AA'L'LR

Find the ratio from previous term,
AA'=L'L

Applying,

R'=L'L2R

R'=22R

=4R.

Therefore, The wire's resistance, if stretch to twice its initial length, is4R

You've been asked to determine whether a new material your company has made is ohmic and, if so, to measure its electrical conductivity. Taking a 0.50mm脳1.0mm脳45mmsample, you wire the ends of the long axis to a power supply and then measure the current for several different potential differences. Your data are as follows:

Voltage (V)
Current (A)
0.2000.47
0.4001.06
0.6001.53
0.8001.97

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine whether the material is ohmic and, if so, its conductivity.
