the electrical resistance of copper wire varies directly with its length and inversely with the square of the diameter of the wire. If a wire 30m long with a diameter of 3 mm has a resistance of 25 ohms, find the resistance of a wire 40m long with a diameter of 3.5 mm

Respuesta :

Answer:24.47

Explanation:

Given

[tex]L_1=30 m[/tex]

[tex]d_1=3 mm[/tex]

[tex]R_1=25 \Omega [/tex]

[tex]L_2=40 m[/tex]

[tex]d_2=3.5 mm[/tex]

we know Resistance [tex]R=\frac{\rho L}{A}[/tex]

Where R=resistance

[tex]\rho =resistivity[/tex]

L=Length

A=area of cross-section

[tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]

Thus [tex]R\propto \frac{L}{d^2}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]R_1\propto \frac{L_1}{d_1^2}[/tex]--------1

[tex]R_2\propto \frac{L_2}{d_2^2}[/tex]--------2

divide 1 and 2 we get

[tex]\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{L_1}{L_2}\times \frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{30}{40}\times \frac{3.5^2}{3^2}[/tex]

[tex]R_2=25\times 0.734\times 1.33[/tex]

[tex]R_2=24.47 \Omega [/tex]
