The wires of our appliances are insulated with a material mixed with rubber, which has a very high resistivity. If a certain wire has a length of 2.5 m and the outer diameter is 5mm and its inner diameter is 0.5mm, what is its resistance? Note that the inner diameter is present to leave a hallow place where conducting wire ( usually copper) is present. Follow the format: Given: Required: Equation: Solution: Answer:

You are working as an electrician in a large steel manufacturing plant, and you are in the process of doing preventive maintenance on a large DC generator. You have megged both the series and shunt field windings and found that each has over 10 M to ground. Your ohmmeter, however, indicates a resistance of 1.5 across terminals S1andS2. The ohmmeter indicates a resistance of 225 between terminals F1andF2. Are these readings normal for this type machine, or is there a likely problem? Explain your answer.
