Consider a cylindrical ohmic wire with the following dimensions: length = 10.0 m, radius = 0.05 m. When the ends of the wire were connected to a 2.0 V voltage source, a 1.0 A current through the wire was measured. Determine the resistivity of the wire.
Choices: 3.93 x10^-4 Ω-m, 1.57 x 10^-3 Ω-m, 3.14 x 10^-2 Ω-m, 3.92 x 10^-2 Ω-m, 1.57 x 10^-1 Ω-m
A piece of Nichrome wire has a radius of 6.5 x 10-4 m. It is used in a laboratory to make a heater that dissipates 3.00×102 W of power when connected to a voltage source of 120 V. Ignoring the effect of temperature on resistance, estimate the necessary length of wire.
A voltmeter connected across the terminals of a tungsten-filament light bulb measures 112 V when an ammeter in line with the bulb
registers a current of 0.670 A.
