Resistivity of Copper = 1.68x10^-8 radius of wire = 1.7x10^-3m/2 = 8.5x10^-4 A =pi*(8.5x10^-4)^2 = 2.310^-6m^2 Plugging in the numbers: R = 2.6x10^-2 = .026 Ohms
The correct answer is 0.033 ohms.

resistance is directly proportional to wire length and inversely proportional to wire cross-sectional area. In other words, If the wire length is doubled, the resistance is doubled too. If the wire diameter is doubled, the resistance will reduce to 1/4 of the original resistance.
(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!
The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.
Resistance depends on the thickness and length of the wire used, as well as the conductor used. For example, a short, thick wire made of copper will conduct electricity better than a long, thin wire made of, say, iron.AnswerResistance is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (not 'thickness') of a material. Its constant of proportionality is called resistivity which is affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.
The current capacity varies depending on the length and diameter of the wire
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.
Is either; A. the length of the wire B. the diameter of the wire c. the location of the wire D. the temperature of the wire
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
The resistance of a wire is the length divided by the cross-section area and the conductivity of the material. So for small resistance you need a wire with short length, large cross-section area (diameter) and a material with high conductivity like copper.
If you have a conductor ... say, a copper wire ... and you keep its diameter and temperatureconstant, then yes, its resistance will be directly proportional to its length.
Its elemental makeup. Its' diameter and its' length.
resistance is directly proportional to wire length and inversely proportional to wire cross-sectional area. In other words, If the wire length is doubled, the resistance is doubled too. If the wire diameter is doubled, the resistance will reduce to 1/4 of the original resistance.
If the wire length is 100m and the Diameter is 1mm calculate the Resistance of wire?
Generally a larger diameter copper wire would create the least resistance to electron flow. Copper is the most conductive and is widely used.
There are three main factors that affect the resistance of a copper wire: Length of the wire: The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. As the length of the wire increases, the resistance also increases. This is because the longer the wire, the more obstacles (collisions with electrons) the current has to overcome, resulting in higher resistance. Cross-sectional area of the wire: The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. As the cross-sectional area of the wire increases, the resistance decreases. This is because a larger cross-sectional area provides more space for the flow of electrons, reducing the resistance. Resistivity of the material: The resistance of a wire is also dependent on the resistivity of the material it is made of. Resistivity is an inherent property of the material and is a measure of how much the material opposes the flow of electric current. Copper has a relatively low resistivity compared to other metals, making it a good conductor and suitable for wiring applications. The relationship between these factors and the resistance of a copper wire can be expressed by the formula: R = ρ × (L / A) Where: R is the resistance of the wire ρ (rho) is the resistivity of the material (in this case, copper) L is the length of the wire A is the cross-sectional area of the wire By adjusting these three factors, you can control and manipulate the resistance of a copper wire to suit your specific needs in electrical and electronic applications.
