The correct Answer is:
To find the resistance of a cube of manganin with a specific resistance of \( 50 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m} \) and a length of \( 50 \, \text{m} \), we can use the formula for resistance: \[ R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \] where: - \( R \) is the resistance, - \( \rho \) is the specific resistance (resistivity), - \( L \) is the length of the conductor, - \( A \) is the cross-sectional area. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Specific resistance \( \rho = 50 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m} \) - Length \( L = 50 \, \text{m} \) 2. **Determine the cross-sectional area \( A \):** Since the shape is a cube, the cross-sectional area can be calculated as: \[ A = \text{side}^2 = 50 \, \text{m} \times 50 \, \text{m} = 2500 \, \text{m}^2 \] 3. **Substitute the values into the resistance formula:** \[ R = \frac{(50 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m}) \times (50 \, \text{m})}{2500 \, \text{m}^2} \] 4. **Calculate the numerator:** \[ 50 \times 10^{-8} \times 50 = 2500 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \, \text{m}^2 \] 5. **Now substitute back into the formula:** \[ R = \frac{2500 \times 10^{-8}}{2500} \] 6. **Simplify the expression:** The \( 2500 \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out: \[ R = 10^{-8} \, \Omega \] ### Final Answer: The resistance of the cube is \( 10^{-8} \, \Omega \).
