R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω

How do you find the capacitance in this?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

parallel capacitances add directly

Series capacitances add by reciprocal of sum of reciprocals.

Ceq = [ C ] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C)] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C + 1/C)]

Ceq = [ C ] + [C / 2] + [C / 3]

Ceq = [ 6C/6 ] + [3C / 6] + [2C / 6]

Ceq = 11C/6

What line in the sky is created by our revolution around the Sun?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Ecliptic

Explanation:

You asked for the term that is used to describe Earth going around the sun

The ecliptic is the path the sun, moon, and planets take across the sky as seen from Earth. It best defines the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun. The imaginary line can best be visualized in the days just before full moon.

How do I figure out this
ahrayia [7]
The Atomic Number is equal to the amount of Protons and Electrons. To find the amount of Neutrons in an atom, you have to look at the Mass Number. The Mass Number is the SUM (_+_=_) of Protons and Neutrons in an atom. In this case, you will have to make up equations. For example: Argon. Argon's Mass Number is 40. You need to find the amount of Protons in the atom (18). Mass Number (40) - Protons (18) = Amount of Neutrons. 40-18=22.
Argon has 22 Neutrons, because Protons(18)+Neutrons(22)=Mass Number(40).

Hope I could help!
