Answer:
Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is
Explanation:
Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.
The resistance of a wire is
- directly proportional to its length i.e
- inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e
Therefore
ρ is the resistivity.
The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).
The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m
The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m
For copper:
......(1)
Again for tungsten:
........(2)
Given that and
Dividing the equation (1) and (2)
[since
and
]
Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is
