You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,

each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is gold, one

is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity

values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of1.93×10-4kgm3.

What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is

this wire very expensive?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The length of each wire is,

Length of copper wire – 45.66m

Length of gold wire – 32.19

Length of aluminum wire – 28.35m

(b)The mass of the gold wire is 0.488 kg and the wire is very expensive.

Step by step solution

01

Formula of resistance and resistivity of wires.

Consider the formula for the resistance as:

R=ÒÏLAL=RAÒÏ

Here, ÒÏis the resistivity, L is the length and A is the area of cross section.

Consider the resistivity values- as:

Copper - 1.72×10-8Ω.m.

Gold - 2.44×10-8Ω.m.

Aluminum - 2.77×10-8Ω.m.

Consider the formula for the density as:

M=VÒÏM=(AL)ÒÏ

02

Calculate the length of each wire.

(a)

Solve for the length of the copper wire.

L=1Ωπ41mm21.72×10-8Ω.m=45.66m

Solve for the length of the gold wire.

L=1Ωπ41mm22.44×10-8Ω.m=32.19m

Solve for the length of the aluminum wire.

L=1Ωπ41mm22.77×10-8Ω.m=28.35m

03

Calculate the mass of the gold wire.

(b)

The density of gold is given as1.93×104kgm3

Therefore mass of gold wire is,

M=1.93×104kgm37.854×10-7m232.19m=0.488kg

Therefore, the mass of the gold wire is 0.488 kg and the wire is very expensive.

Two-point charges are separated by 25.0 cm (Fig. E21.43). Find the net electric field these charges produce at (a) point A and (b) point B. (c) What would be the magnitude and direction of the electric force this combination of charges would produce on a proton at A?

Point charge q1 = -5.00 nC is at the origin and point charge q2 = +3.00 nC is on the x-axis at x = 3.00 cm. Point P is on the y-axis at y = 4.00 cm. (a) Calculate the electric fieldsandat point P due to the charges q1 and q2. Express your results in terms of unit vectors (see Example 21.6). (b) Use the results of part (a) to obtain the resultant field at P, expressed in unit vector form.

Question: The two charges q1 and q2shown in Fig. have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the net electric field due to these two charges at points A (midway between the charges), B, and C if (a) both charges are negative, (b) both charges are positive, (c) q1 is positive and q2 is negative?

An electron moves at 1.40×106m/sthrough a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.40×10-2T. (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?

An uncharged metal sphere hangs from a nylon thread. When a positively charged glass rod is brought close to the metal sphere, the sphere is drawn toward the rod. But if the sphere touches the rod, it suddenly flies away from the rod. Explain why the sphere is first attracted and then repelled.
