Answer:
The voltage drop across the wire is 2 V
Explanation:
Given;
length of wire, L = 10 m
current density, I/A, μ = 4 x 10⁶ (A/m²)
wire conductivity, σ = 2 x 10⁷ (S/m)
The resistivity of wire is given by;
[tex]\rho = \frac{RA}{L} \\\\But \ R = V/I\\\\\rho = \frac{VA}{IL}[/tex]
Conductivity, σ = ¹/ρ
[tex]\sigma = \frac{IL}{VA}\\ \\V = \frac{IL}{ A \sigma}\\\\V = (\frac{I}{A})\frac{L}{\sigma}\\ \\V = (\mu)\frac{L}{\sigma}\\\\V = (4*10^{6} )*\frac{10}{2*10^{7} } \\\\V = 2 \ V[/tex]
Therefore, the voltage drop across the wire is 2 V
