One wire possesses a solid core of copper, with a circular cross-section of radius 3.78 mm. The other wire is composed of 19 str

ands of thin copper wire bundled together. Each strand has a circular cross-section of radius 0.756 mm. The current density J in each wire is the same, J=2950 A/m².
1. How much current does each wire carry?
2. The resistivity of copper is 1.69 x 10⁻⁸ ohm m. What is the resistance of a 1.00 m length of each wire?

Answer:

a) Current in wire 1 = 0.132 A

Current in wire 2 = 0.101 A

b) Resistance of wire 1 = R₁ = 0.000376 Ω = (3.76 × 10⁻⁴) Ω = 0.376 mΩ

Resistance of wire 2 = R₂ = 0.000495 Ω = (4.95 × 10⁻⁴) Ω = 0.495 mΩ

Explanation:

Current density, J = (current) × (cross sectional area)

Current density for both wires = J = 2950 A/m²

For wire 1,

Cross sectional Area = πr² = π(0.00378²)

A₁ = 0.00004491 m²

For wire 2,

With the assumption that the strands are well banded together with no spaces in btw.

Cross sectional Area = 19 × πr² = π(0.000756)²

A₂ = 0.00003413 m²

Current in wire 1 = I₁ = J × A₁ = 2950 × 0.00004491 = 0.132 A

Current in wire 2 = I₂ = J × A₂ = 2950 × 0.00003413 = 0.101 A

b) Resistance = ρL/A

ρ = resistivity for both wires = (1.69 x 10⁻⁸) Ω.m

L = length of wire = 1.00 m for each of the two wires

A₁ = 0.00004491 m²

A₂ = 0.00003413 m²

R₁ = ρL/A₁ = (1.69 x 10⁻⁸ × 1)/0.00004491

R₁ = 0.000376 Ω = (3.76 × 10⁻⁴) Ω = 0.376 mΩ

R₂ = ρL/A₂ = (1.69 x 10⁻⁸ × 1)/0.00003413

R₂ = 0.000495 Ω = (4.95 × 10⁻⁴) Ω = 0.495 mΩ

Hope this helps!!

A certain lightning bolt moves 50.0 C of charge. How many units of fundamental charge is this?
liubo4ka [24]
Answer: There are number of electrons.
Explanation:
We are given 50 Coulombs of charge and we need to find the number of electrons that can hold this much amount of charge. So, to calculate that we will use the equation:

where,
n = number of electrons
Charge of one electron =
Q = Total charge = 50 C.
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, there are number of electrons.

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
