Question

A copper wire of cross-sectional area 2.0mm2, resistivity = 1.7×108Ωm, carries a current of 1 A. The electric field in the copper wire is:
  1. 8.5×104V/m
  2. 8.5×103V/m
  3. 8.5×105V/m
  4. 8.5×102V/m

A
8.5×104V/m
B
8.5×103V/m
C
8.5×102V/m
D
8.5×105V/m
Solution
Verified by Toppr

from given data A=2mm2
ρ=1.7×108Ωm.
i=1A
V=iR ( from ohms law.)
V=i×ρlA
E.l=i×ρlA
