Resistivity

Resistivity is a characteristic property of the conductor’s material that measures the extent to which the material opposes the flow of current. It is denoted by the Greek letter “rho”. Electrical resistivity, also known as specific resistance, depends on the nature of the material of the conductor and is unaffected by its dimensions.

What current flows through a 2.54-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 × 103 V is applied to it? (Such a rod may be used to make nuclear- particle detectors, for example.)
Measurements made during severe electrical storms reveal that lightning bolts can carry as much as 30 C of charge and can travel between a cloud and the ground in time intervals of around 100 μμs (and sometimes even shorter). Potential differences have been measured as high as 400 million volts. 1)What is the current in such a lightning strike? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) 2)What is the resistance of the air during such a strike? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) 3)How much energy is transferred during a severe strike? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) 4)What mass of water at 100∘C could the lightning bolt in part (3) evaporate? The latent heat of vaporization of water at 100∘C is LV=2260 kJ/kg.

Determine the current density in an aluminum wire of length 2.00 m and radius 0.650 cm. The potential difference between the ends of the wire is 60.0 V. (a) 3.18×10-6 A/m? (b) 1.13x10° A (c) 11.3×10° A/m² (d) 1.13×10° A/m?
Kiting during a storm. The legend that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite as a storm approached is only a legend — he was neither stupid nor suicidal. Suppose a kite string of radius 2.10 mm extends directly upward by 0.802 km and is coated with a 0.520 mm layer of water having resistivity 155 Ω·m. If the potential difference between the two ends of the string is 176 MV, what is the current through the water layer? The danger is not this current but the chance that the string draws a lightning strike, which can have a current as large as 500 000 A (way beyond just being lethal).
