An aluminium cable of diameter 4 x 10
-3m and resistivity 3.0 x 10
-8\(\omega\)m has a resistance of 21\(\Omega\). Calculate the length of the cable. (\(\pi = 3.14\))
-
A.
8.0 x 102m
-
B.
8.8 x 103m
-
C.
8.0 x 104m
-
D.
8.8 x 104m
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
R = \(\frac{4eL}{\pid^2}\)
L = \(\frac{R\pid^2}{4e}\)
= \(\frac{21 \times 3.14(4 \times 10^{-3})^2}{4 \times 3.0 x 10^{-8}}\)
= 8.8 x 103m
