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.

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

Section 27.2 describes a procedure for finding the direction of the magnetic force using your right hand. If you use the same procedure, but with your left hand, will you get the correct direction for the force? Explain.

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is always perpendicular to the magnetic fieldB鈫�. Is the trajectory of a moving charged particle always perpendicular to the magnetic field lines? Explain your reasoning.

The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity 蚁. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by
