- Aluminum and copper wires of equal length are found to have the same resistance. What is the ratio of their radii? Note: You need to use the concept of resistivity and find the resistivity of these two materials to solve this problem. You can find a table of resistivity in your textbook or use the internet.arrow_forwardA certain metal has a temperature coefficient of resistivity of 0.0064 (°C) -1. A wire made from that material is connected to a source of constant voltage via a switch. At the instant the switch is closed, the temperature of the wire is 27 °C, and the initial power dissipated in the wire is Po. At what wire temperature has the power dissipated in the wire decreased to (1/2)Po?
