A scientist measuring the resistivity of a new metal alloy left her ammeter in another lab, but she does have a magnetic field probe. So she creates a 6.5mlong, 2.0mm-diameter wire of the material, connects it to a 1.5Vbattery, and measures a 3.0mT magnetic field 1.0mm from the surface of the wire. What is the material鈥檚 resistivity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The material鈥檚 resistivity isp=2.410-8m

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

We need to find the material鈥檚 resistivity.

02

Simplify   

Resistance Rcan be determined by finding the wire's resistivity p.With the Biot-Savart law, we can calculate the magnitude and direction of a current-carrying wire's magnetic field. At any distance the magnetic field is given by equation in the form

Bwire=o2Ir(1)

finding the current I, so we solve equation (1)for Ito be in the form

I=2蟺叠wirero(2)

Diameter of 2mmwire's radius is1mm. distance is the distance between the center of the wire and the outside of the wire. therefore, in our problem, we add the value of the radius to the distance from the wire to the probe to arrive at

r=1mm+1mm=2mm

Putting the values for Bwire,randointo eqution (2)to get current

I=2蟺叠wirero=2310-3T210-3m410-7Tm/A=30A


03

Simplify   

A battery with emf 1.5Vis connected to a wire. To find resistance Rusing Ohm's law

R=I=1.5V30A=0.05

Depending on the geometry of the material, resistivity pis determined by

p=RAL3

length Lof the wire and Ais the area of the wire. The wire has 2mmof diameter , so we get its area by

A=d22=210-3m22=3.1410-6m2

Putting the value for A,RandLinto equation (3)to get p

role="math" localid="1649581700737" p=RAL=(0.05)(3.1410-6m2)6.5m=2.410-8m
