Electrical conductor designed to carry large currents


An electrical conductor designed to carry large currents has a circular cross section 2.50 mm in diameter and is 14.0 m long. The resistance between its ends is 0.104 n.

(a) What is the resistivity of the material?

(b) If the electric-field magnitude in the conductor is 1.28 v/m, what is the total current?

(c) If the material has 8.5 X 1028 free electrons per cubic meter, find the average drift speed under the conditions of part (b).
