Q.
A copper wire of length 10m and radius (10−2/π)m has electrical resistance of 10Ω. The current density in the wire for an electric field strength of 10(V/m) is :
Radius of wire =π10−2
Cross sectional area A=πr2=10−4m2 j=Ai=(RV)⋅A1=RAEℓR=Aρℓ j=10×10−410×10=105A/m2
or J=σE⇒ρE=RAEℓ=10×10−4×π10×10×π ⇒105A/m2
