Anumber 10 awg copper wire has a resistance of 0.9989 ohms per 1,000 feet and a cross sectional area of 10,380 cm. if the resistance of copper wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, what would be the resistance of 1,000 feet of copper wire with a cross section of 5,178 cm? (round the final answer to four decimal places.)

The resistance of a wire is calculated by the following formula:

$R=\rho\frac{l}{s}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material the wire is made of. In this case we are talking about copper, and its resistivity at $0\ºC$ is:

$\rho=1.72(10)^{-8}m\Omega$

is the length of the wire, which in this case is 1000ft , but we will make the conversion to meters, in order to work with the same units:

$l=1000ft\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=304.8m$

is the transversal area of the wire. In this case is a circumference, so we will use the formula of the area of the circumference:

$s=\pi{r}^{2}$

Now, in this problem we have two transversal areas:

$s_{1}=10380cm=103.8{m}^{2}$

$s_{2}=5178cm=51.78{m}^{2}$

And two resistances:

$R_{1}=0.9989\Omega$ and $R_{2}$ which is the one we are asked to find.

Taking into account we are working with the same material (copper), the $\rho$ will be the same. In addition, the length of the wire is the same, the only thing that changes is the transversal area.

According to this given data, we have a system of two equations, as follows:

$R_{1}=\rho\frac{l}{s_{1}}$ (2)

$R_{2}=\rho\frac{l}{s_{2}}$ (3)

We know all the values, except $R_{2}$ .

At this point of the problem, we will approach it in the following way:

From (2) let’s isolate $l\rho$ :

$l\rho=R_{1}S_{1}$ (4)

From (3) let’s also isolate $l\rho$ :

$l\rho=R_{2}S_{2}$ (5)

If equation (4)=equation (5)

$R_{1}S_{1}=R_{2}S_{2}$ (6)

Now, we have to find the value of $R_{2}$ :

$R_{2}=\frac{R_{1}S_{1}}{S_{2}}$ (7)

Finally:

$R_{2}=2.002\Omega$

Rounding:

$R_{2}=2\Omega$ >>>>>This is the result

It is important to note that as the resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, when the area decreases the resistance increases.
