Question on: WAEC Physics - 2016

An aluminium cable of diameter 4 x 10-3m and resistivity 3.0 x 10-8\(\omega\)m has a resistance of 21\(\Omega\). Calculate the length of the cable. (\(\pi = 3.14\))
A
8.0 x 102m
B
8.8 x 103m
C
8.0 x 104m
D
8.8 x 104m
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
R = \(\frac{4eL}{\pid^2}\)

L = \(\frac{R\pid^2}{4e}\)

= \(\frac{21 \times 3.14(4 \times 10^{-3})^2}{4 \times 3.0 x 10^{-8}}\)

= 8.8 x 103m
