Show that, according to the free-electron model of electrical conduction in metals and classical physics, the resistivity of metals should be proportional to where T is the temperature in kelvins.
Consider a resistor of resistivity 1.59x10^-8 ohms•m.
If an electric field of 19 V/m is applied across the resistor and the electron volume concentration in the conductor is 4.7x10^28 per cubic meter, determine the drift velocity, in mm/s, of the free electron constituting the current.
In a normal conductor heat is generated at a rate I 2R. Therefore a current-carrying conductor must dissipate heat effectively or it can melt or overheat the device in which it is used. Consider a long cylindrical copper wire (resistivity 1.72x 10-8 Ω*m) of diameter 0.75 mm. If the wire can dissipate 80 W/m2 along its surface, what is the maximum current this wire can carry?
