If a fuse wire of certain material blows at 10 A current, then what should be the radius of the fuse wire made from same material which blows at 20 A ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the radius of a fuse wire that blows at 20 A, given that a fuse wire of the same material blows at 10 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between current, resistance, and heat generation The heat generated in a wire is given by the formula: \[ P = I^2 R \] where \( P \) is the power (heat energy per unit time), \( I \) is the current, and \( R \) is the resistance of the wire. ### Step 2: Write the expression for resistance ...
