An iron wire has a length of 1.50 m and a cross sectional area of 0.290 mm2. If the resistivity of iron is 10.0 ✕ 10−8 Ω · m and a potential difference of 0.700 V is maintained across its length, determine the current in the wire (in A).

Answer:

1.35 A

Explanation:

Applying,

V = IR

I = V/R..................... Equation 1

I = Current, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

But,

R = Lρ/A............... Equation 2

Where L = Length of the wire, ρ = resistivity, A = Cross-sectional area of the wire.

Sustitute equation 2 into equation 1

V = AV/Lρ............... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: V = 0.7 V, A = 0.290 mm² = 2.9×10⁻⁷ m², L = 1.5 m, ρ = 10×10⁻⁸ Ω.m

Substitute these values into equation 3

I = (0.7× 2.9×10⁻⁷)/(1.5× 10×10⁻⁸ )

I = (2.03×10⁻⁷)/(15×10⁻⁸)

I = 1.35 A
