Chapter 4: Q2DQ (page 840)

A cylindrical rod has resistance R. If we triple its length and diameter, what is its resistance in terms of R

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the resistance is R3.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Resistance

The term resistivity is opposition offered by the particular electric conductor to the flow the charges. It depends on the type of material used, while the resistance will depend on the length and the area of the conductor.

The expression for the resistance is,

R=蚁尝A

Here, 蚁is the resistivity, Ris the resistance, L is the length and A is the area of the cross section.

02

Calculation of resistance

Consider the two resistance R1and R2such that there ratio is:

R1R2=蚁蚁脳L1L2脳A2A1

Consider the area of the cylindrical cross section is A=蟺谤2.

R1R2=L3L脳蟺谤22蟺谤12

Solve further as,

R1R2=13脳3r2r2R2=R3

Hence, the resistance is R3.

Question:A ring-shaped conductor with radius a = 2.50 cm has a total positive charge Q = +0.125 nC uniformly distributed around it (see Fig. 21.23). The center of the ring is at the origin of coordinates O. (a) What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) at point P, which is on the x-axis at x = 40.0 cm? (b) A point charge q = -2.50 渭C is placed at P. What are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the charge q on the ring?

The heating element of an electric dryer is rated at 4.1 kW when connected to a 240-V line. (a) What is the current in the heating element? Is 12-gauge wire large enough to supply this current? (b) What is the resistance of the dryer鈥檚 heating element at its operating temperature? (c) At 11 cents per kWh, how much does it cost per hour to operate the dryer?

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

Why does an electric light bulb nearly always burn out just as you turn on the light, almost never while the light is shining?

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?
