Question

A long silver wire with a diameter of 1.18 cm carries a steady current of 6.02 A. What is the magnitude of the potential difference (in µV) between two points on the wire that are 3.70 cm apart? The resistivity of silver is 1.59 x 10-8 $\Omega$ - m.

Step 1

The diameter is given as 1.18 cm, so the radius is half of that, which is 0.59 cm. We need to convert this to meters: $r = 0.59 \, \text{cm} = 0.0059 \, \text{m}$ The area of the wire is given by the formula for the area of a circle: $A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.0059 \, Show more…
