Calculate the resistance of an aluminium...

Calculate the resistance of an aluminium wire of length 50 cmand cross sectional area `2.0mm^(2)`. The resistivity of aluminium is `(rho)=2.6xx10^(-8)(Omega)m.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The resistance is R=(rho)(l)/(A)`
`=((2.6xx10^(-8)(Omega)m)xx(0.50m))/(2xx10^(-6) m^(2))=0.0065(Omega).`
We aarived at Ohm's law by making several assumption about the existence and behaviour of the free electrons. These assumptions are mot valid for semiconductors, insulators, solutions, ets. Ohm's law cannat be applied in such cases.
