In a welding process, a current of 400 A flows through the arc when the voltage is 35 V. The length of the arc is 2.5mm, and the average diameter of the arc is 4.5mm. Calculate the current density in the arc, the electric field across the arc, and the electrical conductivity of the hot gases in the arc during welding.

(a) If it carries a current of 0.600 A, what is the magnitude of the electric field in the wire?(b) If it carries a current of 0.600 A, what is the power delivered to it?(c) If the temperature is increased to 300°C and the potential difference across the wire remains constant, what is the power delivered? A coil of Nichrome wire is 23.0 m long. The wire has a diameter of 0.400 mm and is at 20.0°C. Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.
