1.

Two cylindrical rods, of different material, are joined as shown. The rods have same cross section (A) and their electrical resistivities are rho_(1) and rho_(2). When a current I is passed through the rods, a charge (Q) gets piled up at the junction boundary. Assuming the current density to be uniform throughout the cross section, calculate Q.

Answer»


ANSWER :`Q=(rho_(2)-rho_(1))in_(0)I`
Q is negative if `rho_(a) gt rho_(2)`]
