Check Your Understanding In Example 9.4, the drift velocity was calculated for a 2.053-mm diameter (12-gauge) copper wire carrying a 20-amp current. Would the drift velocity change for a 1.628-mm diameter (14-gauge) wire carrying the same 20-amp current?
The diameter of wire A is greater than the diameter of wire B, but their lengths and resistivities are identical. For a given voltage difference across the ends, what is the relationship between PA and PB, the dissipated power for wires A and B, respectively? (a) PA = PB (b) PA PB (c) PA PB
Consider a power plant is located 60 km away from a residential area uses Q-gauge (A=42.40mm2) wire ofcopper to transmit power at a current of I = 100.00 A.How much more power is dissipated in the copper wires than it would be in superconducting wires?
Residential building codes typically require the use of 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 0.205 cm) for wiring receptacles. Such circuits carry currents as large as 20.0 A. If a wire of smaller diameter (with a higher gauge number) carried that much current, the wire could rise to a high temperature and cause a fire. (a) Calculate the rate at which internal energy is produced in 1.00 m of 12-gauge copper wire carrying 20.0 A. (b) Repeat the calculation for a 12-gauge aluminum wire. (c) Explain whether a 12-gauge aluminum wire would be as safe as a copper wire.
An electronic device designed to operate at any temperature in the range from 10.0C to 55.0C contains pure carbon resistors. By what factor does their resistance increase over this range?
A 10-gauge copper wire has a cross-sectional area A=5.26mm2 and carries a current of I=5.00A . The adensity of copper is =89.50g/cm2 . One mole ofcopper atoms (6.021023atoms) has a mass ofapproximately 63.50 g. What is the magnitude of the drift velocity of the elections, assuming that each copper atom contributes one free electron to the current?
Check Your Understanding Copper wires use routinely used for extension cords and house wiring for several reasons. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity rating, and therefore the lowest resistivity rating, of all nonprecious metals. Also important is the tensile strength, where the tensile strength is a measure of the force required to pull an object to the point where it breaks. The tensile strength of a material is the maximumamount of tensile stress it can take before breaking. Copper has a high tensile strength, 2108Nm2 A thirdimportant characteristic is ductility. Ductility is a measure of a material’s ability to be drawn into wires and a measure of the flexibility of the material, and copper has a high ductility. Summarizing, for a conductor to be a suitable candidate for making wire, there are at least three important characteristics: low resistivity, high tensile strength, and high ductility. What other materials are used for wiring and what are the advantages and disadvantages?
The potential difference across the filament of a light-bulb is maintained at a constant value while equilibrium temperature is being reached. The steady-state current in the bulb is only one-tenth of the current drawn by the bulb when it is first turned on. If the temperature coefficient of resistivity for the bulb at 20.0C is 0.004 50 (C)-1 and the resistance increases linearly with increasing temperature, what is the final operating temperature of the filament?
Resistors are commonly rated at 18W,14W,12W ,1 W and 2 W for use in electrical circuits. If a current of1 = 2.00 A is accidentally passed through a R=1.00 resistor rated at 1 W, what would be the most probable outcome? Is there anything that can be done to prevent such an accident?
A 22-gauge copper wire has a radius of 0.645 mm, is 5.00 m long, and has a resistivity r = 1.72 ´ 10-8 ohm-m. The maximum current for which this wire is rated is 0.920A. What is the maximum electric potential difference that may be applied to this wire without overloading it ?

An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it, its resistance at room temperature (27.0 °C) is found to be 75.3 Ω. When the toaster is connected to a 230 V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68 A. What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved, is 1.70 × 10-4 °C-1.
