Chapter 4: Q3DQ (page 840)

A cylindrical rod has resistivity 蚁. If we triple its length and diameter, what is its resistivity in terms ofrole="math" localid="1655715631515" 蚁 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

Resistivity remains constant.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of resistivity

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LA

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

02

Calculation of resistivity

Resistivity does not depend upon the length and cross section area it鈥檚 depend upon the temperature and the conductor material so resistivity no change if length and cross section area are changed.

Hence, resistivity remains constant.

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference. What is the resistance of (a) a 100-W bulb and (b) a 60-W bulb? (c) How much current does each bulb draw in normal use?

You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 鈩� and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery

The region in the figure is in a uniform magnetic field , parallel to the x-axis and directed toward the right. Which charges experience a force due to B鈬赌? What is the direction of the force on each charge?

An 18-gauge copper wire (diameter 1.02 mm) carries a current

with a current density of 3.2脳106Am2. The density of free electrons for

copper is8.5脳1028electrons per cubic meter. Calculate (a) the current in

the wire and (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire.

Copper has 8.5脳1022free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm

length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 A of

current. (a) How much time does it take for an electron to travel the length

of the wire? (b) Repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm)

of the same length that carries the same current. (c) Generally speaking,

how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of

current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
