A copper wire has a length of 1.50 m and a cross sectional area of 0.380 mm2. If the resistivity of copper is 1.70 ✕ 10−8 Ω · m and a potential difference of 0.700 V is maintained across its length, determine the current in the wire (in A).

Respuesta :

Answer: 1.044 E -17 A

Explanation:

L =1.50m

A = 0.380mm = 3.8E- 7

Resistivity p =1.70 E-8

R =pl/A

R = 1.70 E-8 × 1.5/ 3.8 E-7

R = 6.71 E-16 ohms

V = IR

0.700 = I × 6.71 E-16

I =1.044E-17 A
