(a) A 33.5-m length of copper wire at 20.0°C has a radius of 0.31 mm. If a potential difference of 7.0 V is applied across the length of the wire, determine the current in the wire. (Use the values in the following table.)
(b) If the wire is heated to 32.0°C while the 7.0-V potential difference is maintained, what is the resulting current in the wire?
The current passing through a copper wire is I=20 A. The resistivity of copper at room temperature is given as
p = 1.7 x 10-8m. The cylindrical wire has a length of L=30 m and a diameter of D=3,7 mm. Take = 3.
b) Calculate the magnitude of the external electric field required to generate this current, in mV/m.
