A student is given three wires that are made from different materials, but each wire has the same physical dimensions. For a giv

en experiment, both ends of one wire are connected to a constant voltage power supply so that a closed circuit is established. The student has access to an ammeter and a voltmeter to make measurements for each wire. Which of the following types of data need to be collected to rank the wires in terms of their resistivity. Justify your selection. Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a larger resistivity. Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity. Use the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the wire, because a larger potential difference corresponds to a larger resistivity. Use the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the wire, because a larger potential difference corresponds to a larger resistivity.

Answer:

Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity

Explanation:

Since they are connected to a constant voltage power source, the potential difference does not change. The potential difference is proportional to the product of the current and the resistance and, the resistance opposes the flow of electric current. It is clear to see that a large current that flows through the current means there is a lesser resistance to the flow of current at constant potential difference across the circuit.

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver
Crank

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

\rho = R\frac{A}{l}

R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V

Answer:

The internet is most useful to them because they use it to communicate.

Explanation:

If I were to send a message to my brother in Florida, through the internet, while I'm in Pennsylvania he would get it in minutes. On the other hand if I were going to meet him and then explain what I wanted to tell him in person it would take a much longer time.
