Question

A silver wire has a length of 1.50 m and a cross-sectional area of 0.460 mm^2. If the resistivity of silver is 1.59 × 10^-8 Ω · m and a potential difference of 0.700 V is maintained across its length, determine the current in the wire (in A).

Step 1

59 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m \) (resistivity of silver) \( L = 1.50 \, m \) (length of the wire) \( A = 0.460 \, mm^2 = 0.460 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2 \) (cross-sectional area) Plugging in the values, we get: \[ R = \frac{1.59 \times 10^{-8} \times Show more…
