When 126 V is applied across a wire of 10 m length and 0.30 mm radius, the current density is \( 1.4 \times 10^4 \text{ A/m}^2 \). What is the resistivity of the wire?

  1. A \( 1.2 \times 10^3 \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)
  2. B \( 9 \times 10^{-5} \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)
  3. C \( 9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)
  4. D \( 3 \times 10^{-8} \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E = \frac{V}{L} = \frac{126 \text{ V}}{10 \text{ m}} = 12.6 \text{ V/m} \) \( \rho = \frac{E}{J} = \frac{12.6 \text{ V/m}}{1.4 \times 10^4 \text{ A/m}^2} = 9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } \Omega\text{m} \)
