The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the wire given its specific resistance (ρ), volume (V), and resistance (R), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between volume, area, and length The volume (V) of the wire can be expressed in terms of its cross-sectional area (A) and length (L): \[ V = A \times L \] Given that the volume \( V = 3 \, m^3 \), we can express the area in terms of length: \[ A = \frac{V}{L} = \frac{3}{L} \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for resistance The resistance (R) of the wire is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] Substituting the expression for area from Step 1 into this formula gives: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{\frac{3}{L}} \] This simplifies to: \[ R = \frac{\rho L^2}{3} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known resistance value We know that the resistance \( R = 3 \, \Omega \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 3 = \frac{\rho L^2}{3} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( L^2 \) To isolate \( L^2 \), multiply both sides by 3: \[ 9 = \rho L^2 \] Now, rearranging gives: \[ L^2 = \frac{9}{\rho} \] ### Step 5: Take the square root to find \( L \) Taking the square root of both sides to find the length \( L \): \[ L = \sqrt{\frac{9}{\rho}} \] This simplifies to: \[ L = \frac{3}{\sqrt{\rho}} \] ### Final Result Thus, the length of the wire is: \[ L = \frac{3}{\sqrt{\rho}} \] ---
