Convert the mass of the copper wire to its volume using the density of copper (8.96 g/cm³).
Calculate the length of the wire using the volume and the cross-sectional area (A = πr², where r is the radius).
Convert the length of the wire from meters to kilometers to match the units of resistance per kilometer.
Use the given resistance per kilometer to find the total resistance by multiplying it by the length of the wire in kilometers.
Ensure all units are consistent and check calculations for any errors.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Resistance

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current in a conductor. It is influenced by the material's properties, length, and cross-sectional area. The formula for resistance (R) is R = ρ(L/A), where ρ is the resistivity, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area. Understanding resistance is crucial for calculating how much current will flow through a wire for a given voltage.

Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). It is expressed as V = IR. This fundamental principle helps in understanding how voltage, current, and resistance interact in electrical circuits, which is essential for solving problems related to wire resistance.

Hess's Law

Cross-sectional Area

The cross-sectional area of a wire is the area of its circular end face, which affects its resistance. It can be calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the wire. A larger cross-sectional area results in lower resistance, allowing more current to flow. This concept is vital when determining the overall resistance of a wire, as it directly influences the resistance value.

Mercury is often used in thermometers. The mercury sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and rises up a thin capillary as the temperature rises. Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 3.380 g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.200 mm in diameter. How far does the mercury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 °C to 25.0 °C? The density of mercury at these temperatures is 13.596 g/cm3 and 13.534 g/cm3, respectively
