    When 115 V is applied across a wire that is 10 m long and has a 0.30 mm radius, the current density is \[1.4\times {{10}^{4}}\,A/{{m}^{2}}\]. The resistivity of the wire is

    A)  \[2.0\times {{10}^{-4}}\Omega \,-m\]  

    B)  \[4.1\times {{10}^{-4}}\Omega \,-m\]

    C)  \[8.2\times {{10}^{-4}}\Omega \,-m\]  

    D)  \[2.0\times {{10}^{-3}}\Omega \,-m\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Given that                 V = 115 V                 \[l=10\,m\]                 \[J=1.4\times {{10}^{4}}A/{{m}^{2}}\]                 \[r=0.30\,mm=0.3\times {{10}^{-3}}m\]                 \[J=\left( \frac{i}{A} \right)\]                 \[i=JA\] and        \[R=\frac{V}{i}\]                 \[R=\frac{V}{JA}\] Now      \[R=\frac{\rho l}{A}\]                 \[\frac{V}{JA}=\frac{\rho l}{A}\]                 \[\rho =\frac{V}{Jl}\]                 \[=\frac{115}{1.4\times {{10}^{4}}\times 10}\]                 \[=82.14\times {{10}^{-5}}\]                 \[=8214\times {{10}^{-4}}\Omega -m\]
