Physics question :- Three uniform copper wires have their lengths in ratio 1:4:5 and their mass in ratio 5:2:1 their electrical resistance will be in the ratio..
Please no qualified helper will help in this
Sorry for thid
OK, I won't.
Thanks
Why though? lol
hint: If such wires have the same cross sectional area, then their electrical resistance is proportional to the respectively length of such wires
Because I want to know the views of my friends like me...
nevertheless that is not the case of your exercise
But I'm in 11th grade.
OK, let's get to it. We're given that they're made out of the same material. Their mass density is the same.\[\rho = \frac{m}{V}=\frac{m}{A \ell }\]\[\Rightarrow \rho_1 = \rho_2 = \rho_3 = \rho_{copper}\]\[\Rightarrow\frac{m_1}{A_1\ell_1}=\frac{m_2}{A_2\ell 2} = \frac{m_3}{A_3\ell_3 }\]Since you're given the relation between masses and lengths, you can obtain the ratio of cross-sectional areas. Then use \(R \propto \frac{\ell }{A}\)
we can express the electrical resistance \(R\) of a conductor, like a function of its mass \(m\) as below: \[\huge R = \frac{k}{{\delta \cdot {S^2}}}m\] where \(k\) is the resistivity, \(S\) is the cross sectional area, and \(\delta\) is the density of copper
R~L/A Since resistivity of all the three wires are same as all are of same material So, where do we found the area?
L/A
We obtained the ratio of areas by using the fact that the volume-density (mass/volume) is the same across all wires. That's a vital assumption.
Can you find me pls
being: \[\Large \frac{m}{{{S^2}}} = \frac{{{\delta ^2}{l^2}}}{m}\] after a simplification, we can write: \[\Large R = k\delta \frac{{{l^2}}}{m}\]
OK done
For L/A For all wire Multiplying numerator and denominator by L We get (L)(L)/(AL)=L^2/V Also the ratio of mass is the ratio of volume for every wire because density is constant (all wire are of copper) We need to find the ratio of (L)^2/M Now, 1/5:16/2:25/1 1/5:8:25 Now we are left with 5 in one of the denominator so multiply every ratio with 5 And we get 1×5/5=1 8×5=40 25×5=125 So the ratio of resistance is 1:40:125
heyyyy that's what I said
