The following table gives the lengths of three copper rods, their diameters, and the potential differences between their ends. Rod Length Diameter Potential Difference 3d V. 2L d 2V 3L 2d 2V In the following questions, you will be asked to rank these rods. If multiple rods rank equally, use the same rank for each, then exclude the intermediate ranking (i.e. if objects A, B, and C must be ranked, and A and B must both be ranked fırst, the ranking would be A:Greatest, B:Greatest, C:Third greatest). If all rods rank equally, rank each as 'Greatest!. Rank the rods according to the magnitude of the electric field within them. Rod 1 Rod 2 Rod 3 123

You are working with an oceanographer who is studying how the ion concentration in seawater depends on depth. She shows you the device that she uses to measure the resistivity of water from a boat. It consists of a pair of concentric metallic cylinders at the end of a cable (as shown). Seawater flows freely between the two cylindrical shells. She makes a measurement by lowering the device into the water and applying a potential difference ΔV between the inner and outer cylinders. This produces an outward radial current I in the seawater between the shells. She shows you the current and voltage data for the water at a particular depth and is then called away to answer a long call on her cellphone about a laboratory issue back on the mainland. As she leaves, she says, “Have the resistivity of the water calculated when I get back.” She forgot to show you any tables or formulas to use to determine the resistivity, so you are on your own. Quick! Find an expression for the resistivity in…

A conducting spherical electrode of radius a is suspended with its center at a height h above the bottom of a large metal tank filled with a conducting medium having a conductivity s. Derive a formula for the resistance between the electrode and the metal tank. The tank is large enough to be considered as infinite. The electrode and the tank may be assumed to be made of perfect conductors.
