Chapter 25, Problem 93GP
The cross section of a portion of wire increases uniformly as shown in Fig. 25–39 so it has the shape of a truncated cone. The diameter at one end is a and at the other it is b, and the total length along the axis is ℓ. If the material has resistivity ρ, determine the resistance R between the two ends in terms of a, b, ℓ, and ρ. Assume that the current flows uniformly through each section, and that the taper is small, i.e., (b − a) ≪ ℓ.
