    Resistance

    1 A circuit contains a 12.0-volt battery, an ammeter, a variable resistor, and


    connecting wires of negligible resistance, as shown below.

    The variable resistor is a nichrome wire, maintained at 20°C. The length of the
    nichrome wire may be varied from 10 centimeters to 90 centimeters. The
    ammeter reads 2 amperes when the length of the wire is 10 centimeters.

    a. Determine the resistance of the 10-centimeter length of nichrome wire.

    b. Calculate the cross-sectional area of the nichrome wire.

    c. What is the resistance at 20°C of a 1.50-meter-long aluminum conductor that


    has a cross-sectional area of 1.13 × 10-6 meter2?
    2 A 10-meter length of copper wire is at 20°C. The radius of the wire is 1.0 × 10-3
    meter.

    a. Determine the cross-sectional area of the wire.

    b. Calculate the resistance of the wire.


    3 A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at
    20° Celsius. The current in the wire is 24.0 amperes when connected to a 1.50-
    volt source of potential difference.

    a. Determine the resistance of the wire.

    b. Calculate the resistivity of the wire.
