Calculate the current through a 10.0-m long 22-gauge nichrome wire with a radius of 0.321 mm if it is connected across a 12.0-V battery. The resistivity of the nichrome is 1.00 × 10-6 Ω ∙ m.

Answer:

Therefore,

Current through Nichrome wire is 0.3879 Ampere.

Explanation:

Given:

Length = l = 10 meter

[tex]Radius = r = 0.321\ mm =0.321\times 10^{-3}\ meter[/tex]

[tex]Resistivity=\rho=1.00\times 10^{-6}\ ohm\ meter[/tex]

V = 12 Volt

To Find:

Current, I =?

Solution:

Resistance for 0.0-m long 22-gauge nichrome wire with a radius of 0.321 mm if it is connected across a 12.0-V battery given as

[tex]R=\dfrac{\rho\times l}{A}[/tex]

Where,

R = Resistance

l = length

A = Area of cross section = πr²

[tex]\rho=Resistivity=1.00\times 10^{-6}\ ohm\ meter[/tex]

Substituting the values we get

[tex]R=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-6}\times 10}{3.14\times (0.321\times 10^{-3})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]R=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-5}}{3.23\times 10^{-7}}[/tex]

[tex]R=\dfrac{1\times 10^{2}}{3.23}[/tex]

[tex]R=30.95\ ohm[/tex]

Now by Ohm's Law,

[tex]V= I\times R[/tex]

Substituting the values we get

[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R}=\dfrac{12}{30.95}=0.3876\ Ampere[/tex]

Therefore,

Current through Nichrome wire is 0.3879 Ampere.

The electric current is defined s the rate of flow of charge in the wire. The current through the wire will be 0.3786 A.

What is electric current?

The electric current is defined s the rate of flow of charge in the wire. The current through the wire . Its unit is ampere(A). It is denoted by the letter I.

The given data in the problem is;

l is the length of the wire = 10 m

r is the radius of the wire= 0.321 mm = 0.321 ×10⁻³

V is the voltage of the battery =  12.0-V

[tex]\rm \rho[/tex] is the resistivity of the nichrome wire= 1.00 × 10-6 Ω ∙ m.

The resistance of the wire is found by the formula;

[tex]\rm R= \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\ \rm R= \frac{1\times 10^{-6}\times 10}{3.23} \\\\ \rm R= 30.95 \ ohm[/tex]

According to ohms law, The current is the ratio of voltage and resistance;

[tex]\rm I = \frac{V}{R} \\\\ \rm I = \frac{12}{30.95} \\\\ \rm I =0.3876\ A[/tex]

Hence the current through the wire will be 0.3786 A.
