A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic

k, so the total radius of the wire is 2.0 mm. The resistivity of copper is 1.7×10−8 Ω·m and that of aluminum is 2.8×10−8 Ω·m. What is the total resistance of the wire? (Hint, are the two different materials in series or in parallel with each other?)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Length, L = 1 m

radius, rc = 1.0 mm

Area of inner copper, Ac = pi × (0.001)^2

= 3.142 × 10^-6 m^2

Thickness, t = 1.0 mm

Total radius of the wire, rt = 2.0 mm

Area of outer aluminum sheathe, Aa = area of total wire, At - area of copper core, Ac

Area of total wire = pi × (0.002)^2

= 1.26 × 10^-5 m^2

Aa = 1.26 × 10^-5 - 3.142 × 10^-6

= 9.42 × 10^-6 m^2

Resistivity of copper, Dc = 1.7×10−8 Ω·m

Resistivity of aluminum, Da = 2.8×10−8 Ω·m

D = (R × A)/L

Rc = (Dc × L)/Ac

= (1.7×10−8 × 1)/3.142 × 10^-6

= 5.41 × 10^-3 Ω

Ra = (2.8×10−8 × 1)/9.42 × 10^-6

= 2.97 × 10^-3 Ω

Since both wires are connected at the same time to the voltage supply, therefore,

1/Rt = 1/Ra + 1/Rc

= 1/2.97 × 10^-3 + 1/5.41 × 10^-3

= 521.54

Rt = 1.92 × 10^-3 Ω

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = 1.917\times10^{-3}

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, R_{Total}

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{R_{cu}  }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire  

A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\

Resistivity of copper \rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistivity of Aluminium \rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistance of copper R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} }  =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of aluminium R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} }  =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3}  }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}

R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

∴ The total resistance of the wire = 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

where

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i is the initial angular speed

\Delta t is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s

Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s

Substituting,

\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm
