q10- consider a portable electric blanket that runs on a 6 V battery. If you use copper wire with a 0.5 mm diameter as the heating element, how long should the wire (in units of meters) if you want to generate 20W of heating power? (Take the resistivity of the copper wire as p=1.7x 10^-8 ohm.m) I don't understand here, do we need to divide the diameter in half for the radius. Otherwise, can we continue with 0.5?
