Answer:
V = 0.45 Volts
Explanation:
First we need to find the total current passing through the wire. That can be given by:
Total Current = I = (Current Density)(Surface Area of Wire)
I = (Current Density)(2πrL)
where,
r = radius = 1.5/2 mm = 0.75 mm = 0.75 x 10⁻³ m
L = Length of Wire = 6.5 m
Therefore,
I = (4.07 x 10⁻³ A/m²)[2π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)(6.5 m)]
I = 1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A
Now, we need to find resistance of wire:
R = ρL/A
where,
ρ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm
A = Cross-sectional Area = πr² = π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)² = 1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²
Therefore,
R = (9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm)(6.5 m)/(1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²)
R = 0.36 Ω
From Ohm's Law:
Voltage = V = IR
V = (1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A)(0.36 Ω)
<u>V = 0.45 Volts</u>
