Question

A 10 Ω resistor is to be made from manganin wire with a cross-sectional area of 0.2 mm. If manganin has a resistivity of 48 ×10-8 Ohm-m, then the required length of this size manganin wire will be:

  1. 4.16 m
  2. 41.6 m
  3. 6.25 m
  4. 62.5 m

hintHint:

R = rhol over A

The correct answer is: 4.16 m


    R equals 10 space capital omega
A equals 0.2 m m squared equals 0.2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent m squared
rho equals 48 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent capital omega m
l equals ?
R equals fraction numerator rho l over denominator A end fraction
10 equals fraction numerator 48 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent cross times l over denominator 0.2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent end fraction
rightwards double arrow l equals fraction numerator 10 cross times 0.2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent over denominator 48 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent end fraction equals 0.0416 cross times 10 squared m
equals 4.16 space m
