Answer:
0.0389 cm
Explanation:
The current density in a conductive wire is given by
where
I is the current
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
In this problem, we know that:
- The fuse melts when the current density reaches a value of
- The maximum limit of the current in the wire must be
I = 0.62 A
Therefore, we can find the cross-sectional area that the wire should have:
We know that the cross-sectional area can be written as
where d is the diameter of the wire.
Re-arranging the equation, we find the diameter of the wire:
