Answer:
0.0034 sec
Explanation:
L = initial length
T = initial time period = 2.51 s
Time period is given as
L = 1.56392 m
L' = new length
ΔT = Rise in temperature = 142 °C
α = coefficient of linear expansion = 19 x 10⁻⁶ °C
New length due to rise of temperature is given as
L' = L + LαΔT
L' = 1.56392 + (1.56392) (19 x 10⁻⁶) (142)
L' = 1.56814 m
T' = New time period
New time period is given as
T' = 2.5134 sec
Change in time period is given as
ΔT = T' - T
ΔT = 2.5134 - 2.51
ΔT = 0.0034 sec
(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know
and 
, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
where
is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
