A 24 m length sample of an unknown metal wire is connected to a known ?= 0.56 Ω resistor and a ?= 24 V battery as shown. The unknown metal wire's cross-sectional radius is 0.0011 m. The voltage across the known resistor is measured to be 9.9 V. What is the wire sample's conductivity (in 1Ω⋅m)?
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?
