(a) The electrical resistance of the wire is determined as 9.27 x 10⁻⁴ ohms.
(b) The current flowing through the wire is 1.1 mA.
Electrical resistance of the wire
The electrical resistance of the wire is determined as follows;
ρ = RA/l
RA = ρL
R = ρL/A
Where;
- A is area of the iron bar
- ρ is electrical resistivity = 1/conductivity = 1/1.0299 x 10⁷ = 9.7 x 10⁻⁸
A = πd²/4
A = π x (0.02)²/4
A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁴ m²
R = (9.7 x 10⁻⁸ x 3)/(3.14 x 10⁻⁴)
R = 9.27 x 10⁻⁴ ohms
From the chart, voltage after 120 minutes ≈ 1.1 V
Current, I = V/R
where;
I = 1.1/(1000)
I = 1.1 mA
