Answer:
electric field in the wide wire is
E₂ =
Explanation:
given
length of the copper wire = L
radius of the copper wire r₁ = b
length of the second copper wire = L
radius of the second copper wire r₂ = 2b
electric field in the narrow wire = E₁=E
recall
resistance R = ρL/A
where ρ is resistivity of the copper wire, L is the length, and A is the cross sectional area.
Resistance of narrow wire, R₁
R₁ = ρL/A
where A = πb²
R₁ = ρL/πb²---------- eqn 1
Resistance of wide wire, R₂
R₂ = ρL/A
where A = π(2b)²
R₂ = ρL/π(2b)²
R₂ = ρL/4πb²-------------- eqn 2
R₂ = ¹/₄(ρL/πb²)
comparing eqn 1 and 2
R₁ = 4R₂
calculating the current in the wire,
I = E/(R₁ + R₂)
recall
R₁ = 4R₂
∴ I = E/(4R₂ + R₂)
I = E/5R₂
calculating the potential difference across R₁ & R₂
V₁ = IR₁
I = E/5R₂
∴ V₁ = ER₁/5R₂
R₁ = 4R₂
V₁ = 4ER₂/5R₂
∴V₁ = ⁴/₅E
potential difference for R₂
V₂= IR₂
I = E/5R₂
∴ V₂ = ER₂/5R₂
V₂ = ER₂/5R₂
∴V₂ = ¹/₅E
so, electric field E = V/L
for narrow wire E₁ = V₁/L ----------- eqn 3
for wide wire, E₂ = V₂/L------------ eqn 4
compare eqn 3 and 4
E₂/E₁ = V₂/V₁( L is constant)
E₂/E₁ = ¹/₅E/⁴/₅E
E₂ = E₁/4
note E₁ = E
∴E₂ =
