Acylindrical metal rod is 2.40 m long and 5.99 mm in diameter. the resistance between its two ends (at 20oc) is 1.38 × 10-3 ω. (a) what is the material? (b) a round disk, 2.24 cm in diameter and 1.20 mm thick, is formed of the same material. what is the resistance between the round faces, assuming that each face is an equipotential surface?

(a) silver

(b) 4.94 x 10^-8 ohm

Explanation:

L = 2.4 m

diameter = 5.99 mm = 5.99 x 10^-3 m

Radius, r = diameter / 2 = 2.995 x 10^-3 m

R = 1.38 x 10^-3 ohm

(a) Let ρ be the resistivity of the material

R = ρ L / A

R A / L = ρ

ρ = (1.38 x 10^-3 x 3.14 x 2.995 x 10^-3 x 2.995 x 10^-3) / 2.4

ρ = 1.62 x 10^-8 ohm-m

The material is silver.

(b) t = 1.2 mm = 1.2 x 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2.24 cm = 0.0224 m

Radius, r = 0.0112 m

Resistance, R = ρ x t / A

R =  1.62 x 10^-8 x 1.2 x 10^-3 / (3.14 x 0.0112 x 0.0112)

R = 4.94 x 10^-8 ohm

when the use of electricity burdens the fuse and miniarure circuit beakers and there is a possibility of a fuse then they automatically cut off the electricity supply to your homes and after you fix the problem u jzt switch it on and it continues the supply of electricity to ur homes

i would say
