There is a potential difference of 1.1 v between the ends of a 10 cm long graphite rod that has a cross-sectional area of 0.90 mm^2. the resistivity of graphite is 7.5 x 10^-6 ω-m. (a) find the resistance of the rod.
(b) find the current.
(c) find the electric field inside the rod.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Potential difference between the ends of a rod, V = 1.1 V

Length of the rod, l = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Area of cross section of the rod,

The resistivity of graphite,

(a) Let R is the resistance of the rod. It is given by :

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.833 ohms.

(b) Let I is the current flowing in the wire. It can be calculated using the Ohm's law as :

I = 1.32 A

(c) Let E is the electric field inside the rod. The electric field in terms of potential difference is given by :

E = 11 V/m

Hence, this is the required solution.

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
