An aluminium rod with square cross section is 1.3 m long and 3.8 mm on edge (1) What is the resistance between its ends? The resistivity of aluminium is 2.75 10-8 Q.m. (ii) What must be the diameter of a cylindrical copper rod of length 1.3 m if its resistance is to be the same as that of the aluminium rod? The resistivity of copper is 1.69 - 103Ω.m. (iii) Calculate the current (in A) and the current density (in A/m^2) of the cylindrical copper if the potential drop across the ends of the wire is 0.060 V.
