For dry skin, the resistance between a person’s hands is typically 510 kiloohm. The skin is on average about 2.00 mm thick.

- An aluminum rod with a square cross section is 2.2 m long and 6.2 mm on edge. (a) What is the resistance between its ends? (b) What must be the diameter of a cylindrical copper rod of length 2.2 m if its resistance is to be the same as that of the aluminum rod? The resistivity of aluminum is 2.75 x 108 Q-m and the resistivity of copper is 1.69 × 10-8 Q-m. (a) Number Units (b) Number i Unitsarrow_forwardFigure a shows a rod of resistive material. The resistance per unit length of the rod increases in the positive direction of the X axis. At any position x along the rod, the resistance dR of a narrow- differential-section of width dx is given by dR = 5.00xdx, where dR is in ohms and is in meters. Figure b shows such a narrow section. You are to slice off a length of the rod between X = O and some position = L and then connect that length to a battery with potential difference V = 5.0V (Fig. c). You want the current in the length to transfer energy to thermal energy at the rate of 6.2 W. At what position x = L in meters should you cut the rod?

In one form of this device, a rubber capillary tube with an inside diameter of 1.00 mm is filled with mercury at 20.0°C. The resistance of the mercury is measured with the aid of electrodes sealed into the ends of the tube. If 100 cm of the tube is wound in a helix around a patient’s upper arm, the blood flow during a heartbeat causes the arm to expand, stretching the length of the tube by 0.040 0 cm. From this observation and assuming cylindrical symmetry, you can find the change in volume of the arm, which gives an indication of blood flow. Taking the resistivity of mercury to be 9.58 x 10-7 Ω ⋅ m, calculate (a) the resistance of the mercury and (b) the fractional change in resistance during the heartbeat. Hint: The fraction by which the cross-sectional area of the mercury column decreases is the fraction by which the length increases because the volume of mercury is constant.arrow_forward
