Best Answer

if we know resistivity of copper i.e is very small (1.68×10−8)

transposing the definition to make resistance the subject (Pouillet's law):

R is the electrical resistance of a uniform specimen of the material (measured in ohms, Ω) is the length of the piece of material (measured in metres, m)A is the cross-sectional area of the specimen (measured in square metres, m²).

How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?

You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage

Can copper and alluminium wire of same length and diameter have same resistance?

For a single temperature, yes. The copper wire will have a much smaller cross-section than the iron wire. For multiple temperatures, no. Copper and iron have different temperature coefficients for resistivity.

Does a short copper wire have more resistance then a long one?

No. Other things being equal, a long wire has more resistance than a short wire.


How do you calculate resistivity of copper wire?

(rho) or resistivity of a "wire" is calculated using this formule:rho = Resistance x Area / length of materialthe resistivity of copper is 1.7 x 10 -8 ohm/mResistivity is measured in ohm metres, NOT ohms per metre!


How do you determine length of copper?

As the question is some what blind: However if the cross sectional area of the copper wire/rod is uniform, then we can find the length is we know the electrical residence between two ends. That is the concept of specific resistance is entering into picture to calculate the resistance then the length.


What has more resistance a nichrome wire or a copper wire?

Nichrome wire has such high resistance that it is used to convert electrical energy into heat. Many heating elements are made from nichrome. Copper wire has the best conductivity, for the price, of any metal.


Why is a copper wire not used to make filaments of electricbulbs?

Copper wire has low resistance, so it is unable to produce enough heat to glow.


A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?

The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.
