You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte

ry. The first piece has a length L and cross-sectional area A. The second is twice as long as the first, but has the same thickness. The third is the same length as the first, but has twice the cross-sectional area. Rank the wires in order of which carries the most current (has the lowest resistance) when connected to batteries with the same voltage difference. Rank the wires from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

Answer:

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:

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

where

\rho is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A}

2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is

R_2=\frac{2\rho L}{A}

3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is

R_3=\frac{\rho L}{2A}

By comparing the three expressions, we find

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

dimulka [17.4K]
\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248
So your answer is B.

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?
Kay [80]
<span>The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
</span>\phi=BAcos\theta<span>
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and </span>\theta<span> is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
</span>emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}<span>
 where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.</span>
