A piece of aluminum wire is 500 ft long and has a diameter of 0.03 inches. What is the resistance of the piece of wire?​

Engineering
1 answer:
dexar [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

8.85 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is resistivity of the material,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross sectional area.

For a round wire, A = πr² = ¼πd².

For aluminum, ρ is 2.65×10⁻⁸ Ωm, or 8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft.

Given L = 500 ft and d = 0.03 in = 0.0025 ft:

R = (8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft) (500 ft) / (¼π (0.0025 ft)²)

R = 8.85 Ω

What is a combination circuit? A combination circuit:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Combination circuit; The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for parallel branches to transform the combination circuit into a series circuit.

Example:

The use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuit.

Explain why the failure of a garden hose occurred near its end and why the tear occurred along its length. Use numerical values
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Most hydraulic systems develops pressure surges that may surpass settings valve. by exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating pressure will shorten the hose life.

Explanation:

Solution

Almost all hydraulic systems creates pressure surges that may exceed relief valve settings. exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating  pressure shortens the hose life.

In systems where pressure peaks are severe, select or pick a hose with higher maximum operating  pressure or choose a spiral reinforced hose specifically designed for severe pulsing applications.

Generally, hoses are designed or created to accommodate pressure surges and have operating pressures that is equal to 25% of the hose minimum pressure burst.

A power of 100 kW (105 W) is delivered to the other side of a city by a pair of power lines, between which the voltage is 12,000
OLga [1]

Answer:

I = 8.3 Amp

potential drop = 83 V

Explanation:

Power = 100 KW

V = 12,000 V

R = 10 ohms

a)

Calculate current I in each wire:

P = I*V

I = P / V

I = 100 / 12 = 8.333 A

b)

Calculate potential drop in each wire:

V = I*R

V = (8.3) * (10)

V = 83 V
