A cylindrical wire of radius \(0.5 \,mm\) and conductivity \(5 \times 10^{7}\, S / m\) is subjected to an electric field of \(10 \,mV / m .\) The expected value of current in the wire will be \(x ^{3} \,\pi mA\). The value of \(x\) is ......
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Conductivity \(\sigma=5 \times 10^{7} \,S / m\)
Radius \(r =0.5 \,mm =5 \times 10^{-4}\, m\)
\(E =10 \times 10^{-3}\, \frac{ V }{ m }\)
\(J =\sigma E =10 \times 10^{-3} \times 5 \times 10^{7}\)
\(J =5 \times 10^{5}\)
\(\frac{ i }{ A }=5 \times 10^{5}\)
\(i =5 \times 10^{5} \times \pi r ^{2}\)
\(=5 \times 10^{5} \times \pi \times\left(5 \times 10^{-4}\right)^{2}\)
\(=125 \pi \times 10^{-3} \,Amp\)
\(i=125 \pi \, mA\)
\(x=5\)
