Answer:
a
The diameter is
b
The length to choose is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of aluminum is
The expected power to dissipate is
The potential difference is
First we need to obtain the resistance R which is mathematically represented as
Substituting values
Next we obtain the volume of the aluminium which is mathematically represented as
The value of the density of aluminium is
Now substituting the value
The resistance can also be mathematically represented as
Where L is the length , A is the area and
is resistivity
and for aluminum the resistivity is
Now multiplying the denominator and the numerator by L i.e
But
i.e area × length = volume
Now making L the subject of the formula in the question above
Volume can also be mathematically represented as
Now making A the subject
The area A is mathematically represented as
And
Now substituting this into the formula for area
Making D(diameter) the subject of the formula
Answer:
a) Diameter = 8.09 × 10⁻⁴m
b) length = 2.26m
Explanation:
The relation between density, mass and volume is
The relation between power, resistance and voltage is ,
R = 0.385Ω
The resistance of wire depend on the resistivity , area, and length of the wire as
rearrange above equation for L
The volume of the aluminium wire is
A = πr²
Diameter = 8.09 × 10⁻⁴m
