Two conductors are made of the same material and have the same length. Conductor A is a solid wire of diameter 1.0 mm. Conductor

B is a hollow tube of outside diameter 2.7 mm and inside diameter 2.0 mm. What is the resistance ratio RA/RB, measured between their ends?

Answer:

The resistance ratio is 3.23

Explanation:

Since the conductors are made of the same material and length the product of the resistivity and length of the conductor are the same for both conductors and is constant.

R = ρL/A = constant / A

So RA = constant

And RaAa = RbAb

Ra/Rb= Ab/Aa

D = 1mm = 1×10‐³m

Aa = πD²/4 = π(1×10-³)²/4 = 7.85×10-⁷ m²

D1 = inner diameter of conductor B = 2.0mm = 2×10-³m

D2 = outer diameter of conductor B = 2.7mm = 2.7×10-³m

Ab = π(D2²-D1²)/4 = π((2.7×10-³)²-(2.0×10-³)²)/4 = 2.58×10-⁶m²

So,

Ra/Rb= Ab/Aa = 2.58×10-⁶/7.85×10-⁷ = 3.23

The resistance ratio is 3.23. This makes sense because a larger cross sectional area means more electrons can flow through the conductor per time and so lesser resistance. Conductor B has a larger cross sectional area and so lesser resistance when compared to conductor A.

A gas expands at a constant pressure of 3 atm from a volume of 0.02 cubic meters to 0.10 cubic meters. In the process it experie
Nonamiya [84]

a) 2.4\cdot 10^4 J

For a gas transformation occuring at a constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

W=p(V_f -V_i)

where

p is the gas pressure

V_f is the final volume of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

For the gas in the problem,

p=3 atm = 3\cdot 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa = 3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa is the pressure

V_i = 0.02 m^2 is the initial volume

V_f = 0.10 m^3 is the final volume

Substituting,

W=(3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.10 m^3-0.02m^2)=24312 J = 2.4\cdot 10^4 J

b) 3.24\cdot 10^5 J

The heat absorbed by the gas can be found by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed

W is the work done

Here we have

\Delta U = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J

W=2.4\cdot 10^4 J

So we can solve the equation to find Q:

Q=\Delta U + W = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J +2.4\cdot 10^4 J = 3.24\cdot 10^5 J

And this process is an isobaric process (=at constant pressure).
