To calculate the electric field in a copper wire carrying a current of 1 A with a cross-sectional area of \(2.0 \, \text{mm}^2\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the cross-sectional area to square meters The given cross-sectional area is \(2.0 \, \text{mm}^2\). We need to convert this to square meters: \[ 2.0 \, \text{mm}^2 = 2.0 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \] ...
