Calculate the mass of copper required to draw a wire `5 km` long having resistance of `5 Omega` .The density of copper is `8.9 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3)` and resistance of copper is `1.7xx 10^(-8) Omega m` |

Answer» Correct Answer - `756.5 kg` `R = (rhol)/(A) or A = (rhol)/(R ) = ((1.7 xx10^(-8)) xx (5000))/(5)` `= 1.7 xx 10^(-5)m^(2)` Mass of copper required, m = volume `xx` density `= A l xx d` `= (1.7 xx 10^(-5)) xx 5000 xx (8.9 xx 10^(3)) = 756.5 kg` |
