Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

A certain copper wire has a resistance of 13.0 Ω . At some point along its length the wire was cut so that the resistance of one

alekssr [168]

Answer with Explanation:

Let r be the resistance of short piece of copper wire.

Resistance of copper wire=R= $13\Omega$

Resistance is directly proportional to length.

If a wire has greater resistance then,the wire will be greater in length.

Therefore,resistance of long piece of wire=7r

Total resistance of copper wire=Sum of resistance of two piece of wires

$r+7r=13$

$8r=13$

$r=\frac{13}{8}$ ohm

Resistance of long piece of wire= $7\times\frac{13}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\Omega$

Resistance of short piece of wire = $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

Resistivity of wire and cross section area of wire remains same .

Let L be the total length of wire and L' be the length of short piece of wire.

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$ = $\frac{\rho}{A}L=KL$

$\frac{R}{L}=K$

Where K= $\frac{\rho}{A}$ =Constant

Using the formula

$\frac{13}{L}=\frac{\frac{13}{8}}{L'}$

$\frac{L'}{L}=\frac{13}{8}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{8}$

$L'=\frac{L}{8}$

Length of short piece of wire=L'= $\frac{L}{8}$

Length of long piece of wire= $L-L'=L-\frac{L}{8}=\frac{8L-L}{8}=\frac{7}{8}L$

% of length of short piece of wire= $\frac{\frac{L}{8}}{L}\times 100=12.5%$ %

The resistance of the short piece= $\frac{13}{8}\Omega$

The resistance of the long piece= $\frac{91}{8}\Omega$
