A conducting sheet of material has cross sectional area 10mm 20mm the material has a resistivity 1000 ohm calculate thickness of the materail required to give a resistance of 5 k ohm?

resistivity is not measured in ohms, it is measured in ohm-meters. Assume you mean 1000 ohm-meters. By "cross sectional area 10mm 20mm" I'll assume you mean a "cross section of 10mm by 20mm". You have already defined the thickness to be 10mm, so I can't calculate that, so I'll assume you want the length. That's 3 major corrections I had to make. I may well me making the wrong assumptions. You really need to write carefully. One of the most important traits in an engineer is the ability to write and speak carefully and correctly. anyway, here is my corrected version: A conducting sheet of material has cross sectional of 10mm x 20mm. The material has a resistivity of 1000 ohm-meter. Calculate the length of the materail required to give a resistance of 5 k ohm? the calculation is easy. 1000 ohm-meters / 5000 ohms = 0.2 m = 20 cm


The electrical conductivity of metals which is expressed in ohm-1 m-1 is of the order of?

In the range of 1 x 10^7 1/ohm-m . That's one times ten to the seventh power.


What is the formula for calculation of wire resistance?

R = resistance = rho * L / S rho is resisitivity in [Ohm m], it depends on the material (Copper: 2e-8 [Ohm m]) L is wire length [m] S is wire cross section [m] EDIT: for high frequencies, you may also wanto to take sink effect into account (~MHz)


What do MCM stand for in older electrical books?

MCM stands for 1000's circular mils. Broken down MCM means 1000's (M) of (C)ircular (M)ils. A Circular Mil means the area of a circle 1/1000 inch in diameter. 1000 MCM conductors are 1 inch in diameter.


How you convert Amps into MVA?

1mva = 1000kva so you simply divide by 1000. 10000KVA = 10MVA K = kilo = 1000 M = mega = 1000000
