In order to have a verified or reliable answer to this question, they should take the watch apart and test the mechanism to see what causes failure.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

For dropping a similar watch to record results, we need to buy another one. So, it becomes expensive. And, calling the manufacturer will give accurate results, but no knowledge. It is like getting multiple choices by luck.

Consulting senior faculty won’t result in any progress, because they may not have conducted these. So, one should rip off the watch, and study the mechanism, and its limitations.  The testing of mechanism gives the actual results.

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.0039\ A

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod d=2.54\ cm

length of rod is l=20\ cm

Resistivity of silicon is \rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m

cross-section of the rod A

\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of rod is  R

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega

Current is given by

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A
