Question

The resistance of a metal wire of length 1 meter is 26 ohm at 20°.....❓❓❓

Answer 1

R =26 ohm
L = 1m
diameter ,d = 0.3mm = 0.3 × 10⁻³m
so, base area of wire , A = πr² = πd²/4 [ ∵d = 2r]
= 3.14 × (0.3 × 10⁻³)²/4m²
= 3.14 × 9 × 10⁻⁸/4 m²
= 28.26/4 × 10⁻⁸ m² = 7.06 × 10⁻⁸ m²


R = ρL/A
Here, R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity , L is the length of wire and A is the base area of it .
So , ρ = RA/L = 26Ω × 7.06 × 10⁻⁸m²/1m
ρ = 1.8356 × 10⁻⁶ Ωm
resistivity is 1.8356 × 10⁻⁶ Ωm at 20°C

Hope this helps you
