Chapter 27, Problem 4Q
- (a) Circular metal wires in electrical circuits may have different cross-sectional areas (different diameters) and different lengths. For a given applied voltage, how would the joule heat vary with these parameters?
- (b) Would the wire material make a difference? (Hint: See resistivity in your textbook.)

- A Cu wire of diameter of 2 mm and length of 1 m initially at room temperature of 300 K is applied a constant voltage difference of 100 V for 1000 seconds. The temperature of the wire rose due to Joule heating during the application of the voltage, so one waited for a sufficiently long time after the voltage is removed for the wire to cool back to the room temperature of 300 K. The conductivity of Cu is 6×107S/m. Please answer the following questions, assuming the surroundings is at room temperature 300 K: (a) What is the internal energy change for the wire from the very initial state to the final state after the entire process ends?
