PLEASE HELP!! PHYSICS QUESTION-DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS WITH THE WORKING OUT?!?

Taking the resistivity of platinoid as 3.3 x 10-7 m, find the resistance of 7.0 m of platinoid wire of average diameter 0.14 cm.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1.5 \Omega[/tex]

Explanation:

The resistance of a piece of wire is given by

[tex]R=\frac{\rho L}{A}[/tex]

where

[tex]\rho[/tex] is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area

In this problem, we have

[tex]\rho = 3.3\cdot 10^{7} m[/tex]

L = 7.0 m

The diameter of the wire is 0.14 cm, so the radius is 0.07 cm, therefore the cross sectional area is

[tex]A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.07)^2=0.0154 cm^2 = 0.0154\cdot 10^{-4} m^2[/tex]

Therefore, the resistance is

[tex]R=\frac{(3.3\cdot 10^{-7})(7.0)}{(0.0154\cdot 10^{-4})}=1.5 \Omega[/tex]
