Answer:

a) d = 7.62 10⁻⁶ m, b)    l = 3.25 10⁴ m

Explanation:

Resistance is expressed by the formula

     R = ρ l / A                       (1)

density is defined by

     density = m / V

the volume of a wire is the cross section by the length

     V = A l

we substitute

     density = m / A l

     A = m / density l

we substitute in 1

     R = ρ l density l / m

     R =ρ density l² / m

     l = √ (R m /ρ density)

let's calculate the cable length

     l = √(11.7  13.5 10⁻³ / (1.68 10⁻⁸ 8.9 10³))

     l = √(10.56 10⁸)

     l = 3.25 10⁴ m

now we can find the cable diameter with the density equation

      A = m / density l

      A = 13.5 10⁻³ / (8.9 10³ 3.25 10⁴)

      A = 4,557 10⁻¹¹ m²

the area of ​​the circle is

      A = π r² = π d² / 4

      d = √ (4A /π)

      d = √ (4 4,557 10⁻¹¹/π)

      d = 7.62 10⁻⁶ m

The diameter of the wire is 0.202m and the length of the wire is 4.47*10^-5m

Data;

  • Resistor = 11.7Ω
  • mass = 13.5g
  • resistivity of copper = 1.68 * 10 ^-8 Ω.m
  • density of copper = 8.9*10^3 kg/m^3

Resistivity of Copper

The resistivity of copper is calculated by

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

Let's calculated the volume of the wire first;

[tex]\rho = \frac{mass}{volume} \\volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\volume = \frac{13.5*10^-^3}{8.9*10^3} \\v = 1.52*10^-6m^3[/tex]

The diameter of the wire will be

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A}\\ R = \frac{\rho LA}{A^2}\\ R = \frac{\rho V}{A^2} \\A^2 = \frac{\rho V}{R}\\ A^2 = \frac{8.9*10^3 * 1.516*10^-^6}{11.7} \\A^2 = 0.0011\\A = \sqrt{0.0011} \\A = 0.034m^2[/tex]

Taking the area

[tex]a = \pi r^2\\0.034 = 3.14 * r^2\\r^2 = \frac{0.034}{3.14} \\r^2 = 0.01083\\r = \sqrt{0.01083}\\ r = 0.104m\\d = 2r\\d = 2 * 0.104\\d = 0.208m[/tex]

Length of the wire can be calculated as

[tex]V = AL\\L = V/A\\L = \frac{1.52*10^-^6}{0.034}\\ L = 4.47*10^-^5m[/tex]

The diameter of the wire is 0.202m and the length of the wire is 4.47*10^-5m
