A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = $1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m$

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2$

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

$R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})$

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

$\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m$

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density $\lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m$

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

$E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}$ , here $\lambda$ is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So $2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}$

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m
