You’ve made the finals of the Science Olympics! As one of your tasks, you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a wire, using all the metal, with a resistance of 1.0 Ω. Copper has a density of 8900 kg/m3. What length and diameter will you choose for your wire?
To what temperature must you raise a gold wire (c = 0.0034), originally at 20.0°C, to double its resistance, neglecting any changes in dimensions? (You can assume that resistivity varies with temperature linearly)
608.24 °C
546.32 °C
283.16 °C
314.12 °C
An insulated extension cord is made of a 1.5 m long copper rod with a diameter of 2.3 mm. What is the resistance of the extension cord? If an aluminum wire of the same length will be used instead of copper, what should be the diameter of the aluminum wire to have the same resistance?
