A wire is 1.0 m long, 0.2 mm in diameter and has a resistance of 10 Ω. Calculate the resistivity of its material?
What would be the effect on the resistance of a metal wire of:
increasing its length?
What would be the effect on the resistance of a metal wire of:
increasing its temperature?
Assertion: Conductors allow the current to flow through themselves.
Reason: They have free charge carriers.
The resistance of a wire of 0.01 cm radius is 10 Ω. If the resistivity of the wire is 50 × 10-8 Ω, find the length of this wire.
