Question

a rod of semiconducting meterial of length L = 3m and cross-sectioanal area A=2.5mm2 lies along the x axis between x=0 and x=L. the meterial obeys ohms law, and its resistivity varies along the rod according to p=p0(1-(x2/L2)) where p0=2.5 * 10-4 ohm*m. the end of the rod at x=0 is at a potential V0= 30 V greater than the end at x = L.

 

a)what is the total resistance, in units of ohm, of the rod ?

b)what is the current, in units of miliamperes in the rod?

c)what is the electric potential, in units of Volt in the rod at x=L/2 ?

d)what is the electric field magnitude E, in units of V/m, in the rod at x=L/2 ?
