Question

A wire has resistivity of 0.12 homes per metre​.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is 3 ohms

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is 183.33 m

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the wire, ρ = 0.12 ohms per meter

(a) The resistance of 25m of wire is calculated as follows;

$R = \rho L\\\\R = 0.12 \ \frac{ohms}{m} \times 25\ m\\\\R = 3 \ ohms$

(b) the length of this wire that has resistance 22 ohms is calculated as;

$L = \frac{R}{\rho} \\\\L = \frac{22 \ ohms }{0.12 \ ohms/m} = 183.33 \ m$
