Question 1
a) Ina closed circuit, an electric current of intensity i goes through a resistor of
resistance R. The electric potential at the edges of R is measured to be V. If
now we write
R
would this generally bethe definition ofthe resistance quantity R, or the
expression of Ohm's Law? Explain.
b) We define the resistivity (via the familiar notation) as
E
p=
Thus show that the resistance R can be written as,
R =p-
here Lis the length ofthe resistor, and A is the cross-sectional area ofit.
c) Let J the curent density (i/A). Express J in tems of the electron density n
(electrons/m), the electron drift velocity va, and the electron charge e.
d) Show that the resistivity can be expressed (via the familiar notation) as,
m
p=

here m is the electronmass; t is the period of time that elapses between two
subsequent collisions, the electron undergoes with copper nuclei throughout
its chaotic motion in the body of copper (supposing that the current carrying
cable is made of copper). Hint:…
