17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What

is the ratio of the diameter of a single copper wire to d, if its length is also l and it has the same resistance?

Answer:

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

r = \rho \frac{L}{a}

here we know that

a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2

now we have

r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}

r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

R = \frac{r}{17}

R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}

now from above two equations we have

\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}

D^2 = 17 d^2

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = 4.12

Oksanka [162]

transformer makes use of mutual induction for its operation in which change in magnetic field in one coil due to variation of current , induces voltage in the other coil. so changing magnetic field in the primary coil is very much needed for the transformer. Alternating current is a current which varies with time , hence it is suitable to produce changing magnetic field in the primary coil. on the other hand , the direct current remains constant all the time. hence can not produce a changing magnetic field. so DC current is not useful for transformers.
