What diameter must a copper wire have if its resistance is to be the same as that of an equal length of aluminium wire with diameter 2.14mm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diameter of the copper wire must be 1.69mm.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the formula to find the diameter of a wire

We know,

A=蟺4d2

Substituting in the equation

R=蚁LA=4蚁L蟺诲2

Now, according to the given question, we know the resistivities of both copper and aluminium wires which thus, will make it easy to find the diameter of a copper wire.

02

Calculation to find the diameter of the copper wire

We are given that,

Rcu=RAI,Lcu=LAIanddAI=1.72脳10-3mm

Also, the resistivities of aluminium and copper wire is

pAl=2.75脳10-8惟m andpcu=1.72脳10-8惟m

So,

Therefore, the diameter of the copper wire must be 1.69 mm so as the resistance to be the same as that of an equal length of aluminium wire with diameter 2.14 mm

Question: In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.49, C = 5.90 mF, 詯 = 28.0 V, and the emf has negligible resistance. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the switch S is in position 1. The switch is then moved to position 2 so that the capacitor begins to charge. (a) What will be the charge on the capacitor a long time after S is moved to position 2? (b) After S has been in position 2 for 3.00 ms, the charge on the capacitor is measured to be 110 mC What is the value of the resistance R? (c) How long after S is moved to position 2 will the charge on the capacitor be equal to 99.0% of the final value found in part (a)?

Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?
