Answer:

a) The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for a copper cable is 0.757kg/m

c)The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

Explanation:

The expression for electric field of conductor is,

E =  \frac{V}{L}

The general equation of voltage is,

V = iR

The expression for current density in term of electric field is,

J = \frac{E}{p}

Substitute (V/L)  for E in the above equation of current density.

J = \frac{V}{pL} ------(1)

Substitute iR for V in equation (1)

J = \frac{iR}{pL} ------(2)

Substitute 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m for p

50A for i

0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L) in eqn (2)

J = \frac{(50) (0.200\times 10^-^3) }{1.69 \times 10^-^8 } \\\\= 5.91 \times 10^5A.m^-^2

The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b) The expression for resistivity of the conductor is,

p = \frac{RA}{L}

A = \frac{pL}{R}

The expression for mass density of copper is,

m = dV

where, V is the density of the copper.

Substitute AL for V in equation of the mass density of copper.

m=d(AL)

m/L = dA

λ is use for (m/L)

substitute,

pL/R for A  and λ is use for (m/L) in the eqn above

\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} } ------(3)

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

8960kgm⁻³  for d and 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m

\lambda = (8960) \frac{(1.69 \times 10^-^8 }{0.200\times 10^-^3} \\\\= 0.757kg.m^-^1

c) Using the equation (2) current density for aluminum cable is,

J = \frac{iR}{pL}

p is the resistivity of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p ,

50A for i and 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

J = \frac{(50)(0.200\times10^-^3) }{2.89\times 10^-^8} \\\\= 3.5 \times10^5A/m^2

The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d) Using the equation (3) mass per unit length for aluminum cable is,

\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} }

p is the resistivity and is the density of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L), 2700 for d and 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p

\lambda = (2700) \frac{(2.82 \times 10^-^8) }{(0.200 \times 10^-^3) } \\\\= 0.380kg/m

The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

Answer:

(a) Jc = 6.88×10⁵A/m²

(b) λ = mass per unit length = 8960×8.82×10-⁵ = 0.790kg/

(c) Ja = 4.30×10⁵A/m²

(d) λ = mass per unit length = 8960×8.82×10-⁵ = 0.7367kg/m

Explanation:

Given:

the current to be carried in the conductors I = 60.7A

Densities of copper and aluminum, 8960kg/m³ and 2600kg/m³ respectively.

R/L = 0.195Ω/km = 0.195×10-³Ω/m

Required to find

(a) J the current density in A/m²

To do this we would need to know what the cross sectional area is. A relation that can help us is that of the resistance of a conductor which is

R = ρL/A

Where R is the resistance of the conductor in Ohms (Ω)

ρ is the resistivity of the (a property) conductor in (Ωm)

L is the length of the conductor

A is the cross sectional area of the conductor

From the formula, the resistance per unit length R/L = ρ/A

So A = ρ ÷ R/L

For copper, resistivity is ρ = 1.72×10-⁸Ωm

So Ac = 1.72×10-⁸/0.195×10‐³ = 8.82×10-⁵ m²

Ac = 8.82×10-⁵ m²

I = 60.7A

Jc = I/Ac = current density

Jc = 60.7/(8.82×10-⁵) = 6.88×10⁵A/m²

(b) λ = mass per unit length = density × Area

Copper: density = 8960kg/m³, Ac = 8.82×10-⁵ m²

λ = mass per unit length = 8960×8.82×10-⁵ = 0.790kg/m

(c) For aluminium, ρ = 2.75×10-⁸Ωm

So Aa = 2.75×10-⁸/0.195×10‐³ = 1.41×10-⁴ m²

Aa = 1.41×10-⁴ m²

Ja = I/Aa= current density

Ja = 60.7/(1.41×10-⁴) = 4.30×10⁵A/m²

(d) Aluminium: density = 2600kg/m³, Ac = 1.41×10-⁴m²

λ = mass per unit length = 2600×1.41×10-⁴ = 0.367kg/m

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
