Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

 Solid Wire     I  =   0.01237 \  A      

  Stranded  Wire  I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

b

  Solid Wire   R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

   Stranded  Wire  R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

  The  radius of the first wire is  r_1  = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \  m

  The radius of  each strand is  r_0 =  0.306 \ mm =  0.000306 \ m

  The current density in both wires is  J  =  1750 \  A/m^2

Considering the first wire

     The  cross-sectional area of the first wire is

      A   = \pi  r^2

= >  A   = 3.142 *  (0.0015)^2

= >  A   = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current in the first wire is    

     I  =  J*A

=>  I  =  1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}

=>  I  =   0.01237 \  A

Considering the second wire  wire

The  cross-sectional area of the second wire is

     A_1  =  19 *  \pi r^2

=>     A_1  =  19 *3.142 *  (0.000306)^2

=>  A_1  =  5.5899 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current is  

      I_2  =  J  *  A_1

=>    I_2  =   1750  *  5.5899 *10^{-6}

=>    I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

Considering question two  

 From the question we are told that

     Resistivity is  \rho  =  1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m

     The  length of each wire  is  l =  6.25 \  m

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A}

=> R  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }

=> R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R_1  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A_1}

=> R_1  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }

=> R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega

Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. What material is most likely used in solar panels, and w
klemol [59]

Answer:

A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it

Explanation:

The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.

Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.

In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.

The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.
