Answer:

d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)

Explanation:

The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.

Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms

This corresponds to answer choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.

(a)Compute the electrical conductivity of a cylindrical silicon specimen 7.0 mm (0.28 in.) diameter and 57 mm (2.25 in.) in leng

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) $\sigma = 12.2$ (Ω-m)^{-1}

b) Resistance = 121.4 Ω

Explanation:

given data:

diameter is 7.0 mm

length 57 mm

current I = 0.25 A

voltage v = 24 v

distance between the probes is 45 mm

electrical conductivity is given as

$\sigma = \frac{I l}{V \pi r^2}$

$\sigma = \frac{0.25 \times 45\times 10^{-3}}{24 \pi [\frac{7 \times 10^{-3}}{2}]^2}$

$\sigma = 12.2$ (Ω-m)^{-1}[/tex]

$Resistance = \frac{l}{\sigma A}$

$= \frac{l}{ \sigma \pi r^2}$

$= \frac{57 \times 10^{-3}}{12.2 \times \pi [\frac{7 \times 10^{-3}}{2}]^2}$

Resistance = 121.4 Ω
