Copper wiring in a house usually has a diameter of approximately 1.5 mm. What length of copper wire would have a resistance of 1.0 ​

Sagot :

Given,

diameter of copper wire = 0.5mm = 5 × 10-⁴m

restivity = 1.6 × 10 ^-8 ohm.m

resinstance = 10 ohm

length =?

we know,

R = dL/A

where A , d , L and A are resistance , restivity , length and cross section area.

10 = 1.6 × 10^-8 × L/(πr²)

L = 10 × 3.14 × (2.5 × 10^-4)² × 10 ^-8/1.6

L = 10 × 3.14 × 6.25/1.6

L = 122.656 m
