Suppose you have a rod of pure silicon with a diameter of 2.79cm and a length of 20.6cm. These rods are often used in experiments, such as the Large Hadron Collider in France/Switzerland to detect high-energy particles, and they have a very high resistivity of 2300Ω⋅m. What current, in amperes, flows through the rod when a potential difference of 1.23* 10^3 V is applied between its ends ?

A Van de Graaff generator (see Fig. 25.23) is operating so that the potential difference between the high-potential electrode and the charging needles at is 15.0 kV. Calculate the power required to drive the belt against electrical forces at an instant when the effective current delivered to the high-potential electrode is 500 A. Figure 25.23 Schematic diagram of a Van de Graaff generator. Charge is transferred to the metal dome at the top by means of a moving belt.
You are working with an oceanographer who is studying how the ion concentration in seawater depends on depth. She shows you the device that she uses to measure the resistivity of water from a boat. It consists of a pair of concentric metallic cylinders at the end of a cable (Fig. P26.36). Seawater flows freely between the two cylindrical shells. She makes a measurement by lowering the device into the water and applying a potential difference V between the inner and outer cylinders. This produces an outward radial current I in the seawater between the shells. She shows you the current and voltage data for the water at a particular depth and is then called away to answer a long call on her cellphone about a laboratory issue back on the mainland. As she leaves, she says, Have the resistivity of the water calculated when I get back. She forgot to show you any tables or formulas to use to determine the resistivity, so you are on your own. Quick! Find an expression for the resistivity in terms of I and V before she finishes her phone call! Figure P26.36
